    I guess you do not count using the site pre 2010 or trolling. Some of us do not spend all day posting in/reading/arguing in the forums. Case in point. BA's would be trying to dig through an endless extended conversation to move on past your silly comment. Cheers and way to be a BA!

    ...you pride yourself of knowing well made beer from hype/new/rare/limited.

    ...you drank beer before anyone knew what the hell a microbrew (not to mention what craftbeer) was.

    ...you didn't need a trunk/crate/tickets/extras thrown in to add value to overpriced beer

    ...you still seek balance and drinkability in beer

    ...you know what alt.beer and rec.food.drink.beer was

    You have to wake up 3 times every night to take a leak.

    You drank Kate the Great without waiting in line or scratching off a STUPID ticket.

    Oh lol! I read it as ''An old BA'' meaning a'veteran' '' which I would consider myself. I see the difference now.

    When you hear about a new barrel-aged offering and wonder if it might have involved the same barrel you wore as a young man.

    You obviously don't remember when the inbox was called BeerMail and we used it to chat/argue just to keep the linear board clean.

    I remember the 1st EBF and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Best part was... plenty of walking space and practically no lines.

    Sam C and Jim K were speakers. Utopias available to sample.

    Well worth the trip to Boston! Awesome time!

    So you misunderstood the plot of this thread, failed to recognize others starting their sentences off with "..." in continuance of the thread title, said something that made you look like a newcomer, got called out, failed to quote me in the hopes that I wouldn't see your response, and then tried to act like my superior when my beer knowledge and sign up date both trump yours. Unless you were speaking in third person to yourself, your quoted response doesn't make any sense.

    You still wonder what exactly what it took to earn a fez.

    And when you see the Toronado logo, you think of the old BA one.
