Good for you, [user]Radiant[/user]. My distaste for the "headphone ranking system," and specifically for the terms used at the lower levels, kept me from actively participating in Control Booth.com for at least 2.5 years. Other professionals I have attempted to persuade to join have mentioned similar opinions.
I had assumed the use of "Jr. Techie" and "Techie" in the system were to push technicians who abhorred the term to participate more and raise their level...
