Is the preceding member a part of the forum "elite"?

No, but I have this little bias that if your posts have not caught my attention, then you are not elite. It's totally subjective. And to show how far off it could be, I didn't even know Al existed until a few days ago, and now it is apparent the chap is up there alone on the top of Mt. Olympus, per his reputation, and I have no reason to think the reputation is not well deserved. Anyway, that is my "scenic route" to answering the question. When in doubt, type some  more words!

A simple "no" would have been better then..."no but I ignore you anyways so it doesnt matter.."

Well what I was trying to say, is that just because I don't recognize your name really, doesn't mean that you are not indeed part of the "elite" ala Al. I don't get out much.

I can't imagine that one with the above political matrix, could be part of the "elite" here, but the poster appears to be universally beloved anyway, which says something about the poster's diplomatic skills, if nothing else.
