methinks you be too easily annoyed by a generic, commonly
accepted term that simply defines a short termer in an organization
(used in many other areas and groups) ... would you perhaps prefer
"post-mundane neophyte" (g w/fangs)
... self was a pre-Aneteorran SCAdian newbie once (long ago
and far away) ... and later graduated to "erisian / keltoi / mongol /
biker scum". have met *many* similar newbies over the years,
funny that they seem to be so invisible these day's
'wolf
note, i *not* PC (including it's subset, SC) or PC-sensitive and make
no apologies for that situation ... total waste of energies
