Ah, I know you made a poll, so I offer this suggestion to any moderator who likes it: **Chariot of the Mods.** ---

After so many years, it looks like Chicken of Bristol has come back to bite me on the ass. I accept this title gracefully…because I made the mistake of making it an anonymous poll, so apparently revenge is out of the question. 😃 ---

I voted for it! I’m not afraid to admit it. When I first found out about the original thread, I wondered how long it take to right the wrong. Took a long time. Congrats, btw. I think it’s an honorable title. ---
