As usual, the misunderstanding is all Willie's fault, Earl -

He had no right to capitalize the word "Curmudgeon" – implying that you were a member of the Fraternal Union of Curmudgeonly Geezers (one of the Old FUCGers) – before you have been formally accepted into the organization by our esteemed membership monitor, the JéBêWèX (aka 'El Curmudgeon del Norte') or the founder of our organization, Tom Gildersleeve (aka 'El Curmudgeon del Sur).  I myself am still only an apprentice Curmudgeon – as are Steve Forney and Jeff Badger – even though our applications were submitted several years ago.

- Roosso de los Locos   (aka 'El Curmudgeonito de la Costa del Oro')

p.s.  Don't give up hope, though.  Roger Hogan was accepted when he publicly declared himself a Curmudgeon more than a decade ago — see [ngdiscussion.net].
        OTOH, that was before the F.U.C.G. became a formal organization . . .
