Exactly. Now, if we really think of a _totally badass title_ before we get the business cards printed up I'm open to changing it, but honestly I like it and it fits the role I see for myself just fine. :) Remember... titles are only useful when they're actually descriptive; otherwise they're just fluff. Certainly when I'm doing hiring I'm far more interested in asking what somebody did at their previous job than in what it was called... -- brion _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
