The SD message board isn’t mentioned at all. It’s just a link to a Staff Report (not even a Cecil column, fer chrissakes!) Oddly enough, however, they call him Uncle Cecil, which I was sure was a strictly SDMB endearment. So maybe someone there _does_ read the boards! ---

No, it’s also Cecil’s endearment for himself. 😃 See for example this column: [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a960209.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a960209.html) ---
