I’m beginning to like my new status. Maybe if we band together…you know, back to back. We might be able to fight them off. We might be able to save our titles.

I want to say that I love the new titles and descriptions also. Please keep them.

The OP certainly might have waited until tomorrow to ask this. Any answer given today is automatically suspect.

Being a Lord of Time and Space (but not now and not here) perhaps I can change something having to the spacial-temporal location of the SMDB and extend the day further than this arbitrary “midnight” deadline. :dubious: Perhaps the question we need to ask is midnight where? Which will then change the when! 😃
