The abbrev “CKDextHavn” was based on the number of letters that AOL allowed for a screen ID back in those balmy, early days. I kept it when we moved to the present boards, but my real (cough, cough) name is C.K. Dexter Haven, and that’s what I decided I should be, now that we have lots of space. You can continue to call me “Dex.” Except you, Daniel, you can call me “M’lord” with a li’l deferential bow. ---

Umm, not to burst your bubble, oh Dex, but since i am a Baron (SCA), you would call me “your excellency”. How about I call you “your moderatorness” 😃 ---

Ha! I’ve got both of you beat! I’m only 4096th in line (roughly) to be Marquess of Ailsa in the real world. (Besides, in the [Kingdom of Somerset](http://www.NJKingdom.com), I’m the royal chaplain and historian. And my identical cousin is the Bishop of Salisbury. And my other identical cousin, the late Lord Roderick, was King Uther Pendragon’s chancellor. Of course, my other other identical cousin is just a snotty actor…) ---

Well, John, if you want to talk REAL claims, I am the heir to be “pan Prybilsky”, a peer of Ruthenia- should, indeed there ever be a Ruthenia again, and they re-institute the nobility- nither of which is very likely. This also makes me something like 5000th in line to be Czar of Russia. Umm, A Baron outranks a “royal historian & chaplain”, especially as I am also the Constable. So there. 😛 ---
