the fiddlers fart was used because the proper term would have gotten me in trouble.
problem with leaving well enough alone is the world is being taken over by kids.
and kids get bored easily. so they need to keep it new and constantly changing so their minds do not wander like a three year old chasing a butterfly.

I see this as a extension as the participation trophies handed out. Serious aduts, I hope, don't need the recognition for doing something that doesn't need rewards.

I don't need a trophy. My mom already told me I'm the best.

I've been told by my wife I'm special many times. Usually after an argument.

I think she just wants to make feel better

The math algorithm is a little dodgy. Maybe they are using that new math stuff.
Compare the years badge to the "joined" date;

I, along with a few others, have been on FTE since its inception in the late mid ‘90s when it was an emailed digest. There was a reset when it was bought out. Us old guys should have special metal for that

As long as they’re handing out badges.

So does this require a current post to get a badge?
