<p>If a tree falls in the forest but no-one hears it, does it still make a sound?</p>
<p>If someone is unable to register for a couple of days because the old password doesn't work and it takes a while to get the new one and change it back to the old one but in the meanwhile one reads posts and gets tallied as a lurker, has one really existed on this plane during that time?</p>
<p>How is it that all this change occurred in the last couple of days but we all are shown as having joined in August?</p>
<p>How is it that my last post was shown as being at 6:16 PM, which must have put me somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic?</p>
<p>And finally, what does it mean that most of us are New Members but a few are Junior Members? Which is more prestigious? Which involves higher membership dues?</p>
