I like capitalizing your current name, less confusion for the masses. Also it’s what I did. 😉 After that, I like **Jim of the Shire** ---

I said up front I would abide by the vote and I plan to stick by it. I can live with any of the names on the list, each has its own merits. Thanks again everyone. Jim ---

Beside it might not be bad having a clean slate with a mod, though I can’t think of any time I felt your Jack Boots pressing down on me. Eh, I still like lower case **jrfranchi** better for some reason. It has a certain understated elegance to it. > [@](#): > > I said up front I would abide by the vote and I plan to stick by it. I can live with any of the names on the list, each has its own merits. Excellent. Could you let me know when you’re tallying the votes? Right before, I’ll go through and delete just enough posts to make sure my choice wins. I call it the Diebold Technique (motto: Making Democracy More Maneagable). How do you like them jack boots now?? 😃 ---

If I had it to do over again I would not go with Jimmmy. Mainly for the reasons VLMungo hits Mr. Jim & too close to home for me with in [post 116 in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=288237&page=3&pp=50) Therefore I would say **not** 2.
