When we post on the forum there are lines of type on the left under our names. Most of us "newbies" are "earning our ears". We also have "castmember" or "moderator" etc. tags. After contributing to the forum for a while we can get the attention of the "Tag Fairy". She and her assistants are mythical, magical, creatures that at random attach a tag (line of type) under our names. Sometimes the tags are in fun colors, but they always share a special thought unique and special just for the person that has been tagged. Sometimes they apply to the poster or something they have contributed to the boards, sometimes they are just random tag fairy pearls of wisdom.
It is not possible to beg, borrow, or cheat for a tag. A tag can not be bought, bartered or stolen. There is no special behavior required to receive one. They are magically bestowed by the tag fairy in her infinate wisdom and to be tagged is a great honor. Your tag will always stay with you.
Someday when I grow up and have shared wisdom with others with my posts I hope the tag fairy will tag me. It is a wonderful reminder of the joy of being part of the DIS family. I love the tag fairy, may she and her assistants continue to share their special joy throughout our happy forum.
