Have a look at the FAQ! (on the top-right of the main screen)it's explained
I think it's an Italian word for Adviser! (it looks like the french word Conseiller) \:\)

I got this from my msn;

An adviser or counselor, especially to a capo or leader of an organized crime syndicate.

So I can see in the FAQ to become a master is 400 posts, so I did not notice I have posted 200 posts. I see them with my sig.

Actually, I really don't put much into the titles except for those that denote an official LDW representative. Unfortunately, there are some here who think a person with the largest number of posts must be extremely knowledgeable; which we all know isn't always true.

In reality, the number posts denotes how chatty a person is.
