Exactly what the heck does zelator mean? I see it under my user name. Until then I'd never heard the word. I searched in four unabridged dictionaries and could not find it.

Well I will give it a shot. Zeal means enthusiasm. Zealous means with enthusiasms\. Overzealous means too much enthusiasm. I will guess that zelator means an enthusiastic poster. I am going to assume that if you don't make your own label the program changes your label from neophyte to zelator once you reach a certain number of posts.

Wow, that was quick! Fastest response this side of the pecos! Thanks guys. Storm, I expect that's the case because I never made my own label.

Anyone else know anything?

Actually, I like this hierarchy. This gives me the motivation to try hard and climb higher in the initiation ;)
