Just leaving it at Bull would sum it all up. :) Besides, it would take a
baseball team with consecutive t-shirts to get all of your titles in. :)

If this sort of info is needed for the shirt it would be more
efficient to simply put the FAQ addy on it just under the ShadowRN
thingy..

Simplicity is better...If we get too much different stuff on the back

No offense folks, but "Titles" are not going onto the list for the shirts, for
the sake of space...that is what "nicknames/screennames" are for...

If we keep this up, we'll end up with more titles on the shirt than
other names :)

As a member of GridSec, it's not important to me to have that
distinction noted on the shirt, but if everyone else wants it, I
don't see a problem.

Well, it doesn't really affect me either way, but I was kinda partial to the
shirts from '94 that have the Fearless Leader and Assistant Fearless Leader
title denotions for the appropriate people (Robert "Scooby" Hayden, and Dr.
Doom at the time).

Which title David? It's a part of RN lore (though a bit murky and
oft-forgotten) that I was the *first* list.member.grumpy back in 1995 when
I was in my last semester at the University of Arizona and this list was
the unfortunate recipient of some of my stress.

Grumpy Spice? Don't recall Spike ever using that bit, and that's been one
of my several sig files for a few months now.

So while I'm not anywhere near as grumpy as I was back then, I'll fight to
defend my titles damnit!!

;-)

I hadn't noticed it in your .sig until you pointed it out just now, no
offense :)

Spike claimed the title of Grumpy Spice just a little while before you
rejoined, and shortly after the Spice Girls hit the scene (or maybe the
title claimed him). AFAIK it was applied to him first. Course, I
might be wrong :)

Wait until Spike get's back and ask him. It's one of those things that
he'd definitly remember (he kinda hates the Spice Girls ;)

I vaguely remember that, now that you mention it. I also remember
teasing him, because he had the same last name as one of the girls.
He vehemontly denied any relation. :)

Ah, I was unaware of that fact. Well, if I can retain my
list.member.grumpy title, I'll gladly cede him Grumpy Spice.

Actually, I think he'd gladly cede the grumpy Spice title... He loathes
the Spice Guirls more than anyone else I've met... It was pretty bad :]

No arguement there.

Which is exactly why the title of Grumpy Spice must remain Spikes :)
