   I remarked (yesterday) to WE about his main focus for using the forum is to offer help and advice.
   
   I agree with you - he's more than ready to help. And whilst he can't please everyone or know the answer to every question, he certainly tries his best

   I do agree tho W. E is quite helpful in the answers I have seen with a more than generous moderate tempo that is informational rather than bias opinion based.  Got my vote here.

    HubPages "Elite" is not just a status symbol.  An Elite member does one or more of the following:
    
    HubNuggets Team, HubGreeters Team or HubMob. 
    
    What WE does is not really what any of those groups do.  Perhaps he needs his own category. 
    
    This is what you find for "elite" in the Help section:
    
    "The HubPages Elite are Hubbers who go the extra mile and manage special programs we have here on HubPages, including the HubGreeters, HubNuggets Team, and the HubMob. To learn more about the HubPages Elite programs, visit our HubPages Elite page."

          - Felt stimulated about a dream I had about being kidnapped by a mermaid, who then handed me over to two beautiful (female) angels, who took me straight to Paradise, where 400 maids were awaiting my arrival;
          
          - Looked in the mirror and thought: Uhm, it's time to shave (I can send you spent razor blades as evidence).

    I nominate Website Examiner to be an elite IF:
    
    They get rid of the description 'elite' and replace it with something else. Even Hero or something is better, because otherwise it sounds like they are a member of the illuminati.
    
    They deserve plenty of recognition, no doubt about that. But elite is a slightly strong word, as it makes Hubpages 'elitist', and nobody wants to be described as that.

    Website Examiner has been a complete inspiration to me.  He led me by the hand in the initial stages when I felt completely inadequate.  Without him I would have left Hubpages without trace.  He is a constant support not only to myself but to hundreds of others.  He leaves us constructive comments and nothing is too much trouble for him. His policy is to help and reassure whenever he can.
    He even wrote an amazing short story for me when a replied to his challenge. The Snow Princess is astounding in my opinion and an excellent read. He is blessed with an exceptional writing ability. The style and language that he uses is awesome.
    I recommend Website Examiner whole heartedly for an elite award, in my opinion he always puts others before himself.  He is wonderful and the epitome of what a perfect hubber should be.

       Maybe hubbers should brain storm and come up with a different name. Not suggesting HP will take notice but it has to be said - they do tend to listen in general

       IDK the answer to that one. Way back HP were musing on what to call those that greeted new hubbers. It was done quietly, unless you were doing it no one else knew. AT some point they felt it fair that the greeters were recognized for what they were doing, so they thought to call us something.
       
       The HubGreeter then appeared, as a reference to the greeting (of course ) then the E followed. Can't tell you much about that, I was only aware of it when Sufidreamer emailed me to say congratz.
       
       @ WE - the E doesn't really make a difference to me. Folks still email me asking the same questions, no more, no less. I don't know that when I'm in the forum it makes being a user more difficult either - excepting when other hubbers voice a negative opinion of it.
       
       For my part - I get ignored in the forums in relation to when I'm direct with another hubber. You know - when something is written that warrants my ire kinda thing
