How about indicating in each thread if there is a Cecil Adams post or not? what you could do is write in some code that would include some sort of highlighted message if there is a C. A. post - something like, “1 C. A. post”, or something like that next to the thread. You could also have a message on the home page of the message board, indicating the latest thread with a C. A. post. ``` I apologize if this has already been suggested. ``` ---

Hi Mr. Denial… you may notice under your name is written “Junior Member”… under the REAL Cecil’s name is written “Administrator”, so that’s how you can bet it’s the real Cecil and not a fake. * * * ~Trig~ ---

Relax, guys. I’m not trying to pose as anyone- least of all His Omniscience. Cecil Denial is merely the name of a character that my friends and I made up. I use it here as my UserName - mainly as a joke. Remind me to explain the concept of one to you sometime. ---
