Hiya Cheryl!!!! You haven’t been around in a while? Or have you?

I like Grey Crested Boobie, but it has overtly female overtones [undertones?].

I must resurrect this topic..

Gaye – Here am I in my Grandparenthood [and that is something that is cast in stone, and can't be undone], yet sometimes I write like a twelve year old. It is down to personal honesty I suppose.

How do those “Boomers” in America stop a teenager from pretending to be one?

Parameters for “life experience” or lack of it thereof will be of importance I presume.

Text-speak is most annoying. Thankfully noone I know texts me like that. Huzzah!

I agree, life experience is the way to go. And if that’s the case that makes me around 73 (eeeg!).

Mornin’ all (where I am at least)

Well, for a start, Daz is excluded. He’s a Nerd, and a lover of video games.

Parameters are set by self regulation. Lack of life experience will soon give an imposter away. At which point they will be locked in a dark room until they have reached the requisite requirements.

A way with words is not a necessity. Though text-speak is an instant disqualification.

GD, how are you going to keep anyone out by defining the parameters? You will still be read like a book.
PS: Make it 40 so I’d be part of it in a couple of years. Oh, you have to have a way with words, I hear you say. Ok. *sulk*

World of Warcraft is a game for nerds. I say that, and I am an avid reader of fantasy books and a lover of video games, but World of Warcraft is just a Black Hole of Nerdiness.

And what does the Craft Guild of Bloggers even mean? It’s like one of those meaningless phrases like work-life balance.

I must say I am gravitating more towards Craft. It can be used in so many ways – especially when used as an adjective.

The Craft Guild was an off the cuff suggestion. “Crafty Blogger” will do just as well…

But how do we define the parameters? Over 40′s? Over 50′s? We can’t have any of the Bebo generation creeping in!

Craft is perfect I think.
And what’s wrong with sounding like something from the World of Warcraft?? It’s a brilliant game!
GD, I like the Craft Guild of Bloggers! No matter the name, I think it should include craft. My .02 turkish liras..
