    I guess I must have not heard or been around when all the HUGE contributions were being made. My apologies.

    The titles were given to members who contributed something to the forum that made Xmarks such a fun & special place, be it knowledge (Matt), humor (Red, God love him), or even rubber chickens. Not huge in the grand scheme of things, but an attempt to build a little esprit-de-corps among the members, that's all.

    Sorry, but I do not know who you are talking about.

    Oh, my gosh! I thought this thread had slipped into oblivion. To think there might be a posted decision after it closes on 6/27?

    Pah! Camelot is the eternal ideal! We CAN have it again! This board is one of the nicest, genial, most helpful web-spots I've ever had the pleasure to light upon. If it was better than it is now, I refuse to believe it cannot be that again.

    Seriously, this board has a wealth of knowledge, talent, and generosity that is little seen out in the world today. People shouldn't let petty things like titles (meant for fun and little else) come in the way of what is a wonderful, supportive community like this.

    I couldn't agree with more.

    In human breed, that means, "Woof, woof, arf!"
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
