I suggest sending him a creepy PM to let him know.

I’m sure it would have to be a [morganatic marriage.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morganatic_marriage)The Baron’s family would never approve.

I think these days it would be either Master-Greenback or Greenback-Master.

ETA: I have to say, I am shocked that a Pit thread where the OP calls someone out for a woosh they caused on themselves has been met with such civility. We’ve changed people, back in the day, this would have been a public stoning!

I couldn’t resist to be honest, \*\*Modern Master

If it helps, **Baron Greenback** has lied to me in the past. There _is_ a Swansea!

Can I do a piggyback Pitting of **Loach** in this thread? As I politely stated in the creepy PM thread, Loach didn’t even have the decency to send me a picture of his goodies.

Now, being a straight male, I cannot say that I’m interested in seeing such a picture, but I feel certain principles are being ignored here. I mean, if you want to send a creepy PM, put your back into it (apparently **Baron** has some learning to do as well).

So in conclusion, Loach is a bastard with no sense of principles or standards.

I have to state my gratitude to a poster who not only reminds me of childhood cartoons with his very name, but also manages to add LoG references. Work, chap!
