Hmm. Won't that set off a Moderator title race? I can see the headline now: "Popular Linux Site Crushed by Massive Excess of Superlatives"

A 13-year-old friend of mine from dance class got H1N1 last September, just a little after the start of the school year. Within a matter of days she was in intensive care, fighting for her life. She's okay now, and out of the hospital, but it appears that H1N1 isn't tone of those run-of-the-mill flu bugs. But it seems to be a bigger concern here in the 'States than in other places.

I didn't want to say anything, but my official title is "Legendary Moderator". True story.

That man has serious issues. I suspect that he was bullied and belittled as a child. Anyway, business cards, pah! When you meet me, I shoot a bolt into your leg with a flag attached with my details on it. Cards are too inefficient.

Nope, because the highest conceivable title would be "Linux Marine."
