Hi BJ - Would you consider doing something for me? It drives me nuts that we do not have an adjective to describe someone who has many years, but has a biological age of a 26year old. We have "young" and "old" but not a word to describe a healthy, hearty and exuberant 500 year old...a word that would be attractive and desirable to "become". The closest I've been able to come is superannuated meaning 'lots of years', but it's not positive and too abstruse - not suitable for "marketing".
Would you consider doing a contest for folks to invent a cool word for this? The only thing I ask is that we capture email addresses and that MF would get a copy of the list generated...We would be willing to offer a $100 bounty to the winner - I'd suggest that the winner be derived by a multivote system if you're familiar with that method.
Then we can begin to memefect the language with the new word.

Hi Dave,
I like the idea.
I wish I could move unilaterally, but would you be interested in allowing me to temporarily up your ImmInst status to Full Member so that we may bring this discussion in front of more (and likely sharper) minds?
This would allow ImmInst Leadership and ImmInst Full Members to become part of the development of the project and would likely ensure greater success.
