While certainly it's nice to get something a little more out of your new status than just a larger hill to climb, there is no reason why any of us would want to alienate other users by proclaiming defiance of Microsoft products and Linux-loving rhetoric.

I know you're just trying to be clever, and I applaud that. I think it'd be great if there was even just an automated announcement in the CB that such-n-such has now been ordained as a new status. join the monks in congratulating his/her efforts. Like Rex mentioned, PM is about Perl, and these other fringe issues are for CB discussions and flames, rather than broad-sweeping, site-wide proclamations.
