See, that’s gold right there. By they by, does yours end with a newline? It looks like your “Moderator” is lower than everyone else.

Could be a new trend, you know, wear your title down low.

We experimented with putting in an extra space for clarity, and so the titles didn’t look so redundant. So for now, some of us have the space and some of us don’t. I think we’re all in agreement that it looks like crap, so the space will probably be deleted this evening.

Did I mention the space was my dumb idea?

Me too. I was wondering why he was “band” and wondering why the mods can’t spell for about two minutes 'till I got that it was just a pun. :smack:

Yay. I can now memorialize the self-aggrandizing title I used when I was a freshman in college. . .

You’re on! I’ll send you some Swiss chocolate if you think of a good one for me.  
Right now I’m thinking of “Petit Suisse” (a cheese variety) but if you think me up a better one, well then, Lindt chocolate balls will be delivered to your door! Exta merit points if the title contains a reference to Switzerland.

I think it’s settled: **Ed Zotti** went with “Righteous Fist.”

I’m too busy erasing and re-writing everybody’s posts to bother with a custom title.

All the titles you see above? I wrote them. All of them.

Note to my brain.  
“Titles” not titties.
