Thanks @Mark, I was just a little surprised that the first time I clicked on meta at the top of the SF page, I was informed I had a yearling badge. It does make sense, though that the 'drive by posters' (as I like to call them) with no badges, outnumber regular visitors.

Ok, I see it may not be unusual (and I thought I was special ;-D). I'll definitely come back, but maybe not too often.
