I have no clue what does Ben have in mind when he changes the level's names, he has done so many times during the years I think.

Look to the left, below your name. You are "Secretary Bird". It is a scale that reflects how many posts someone has.

I am "Molly the Mule". :)

Heh, neither David nor I are "Secretary Bird". Ed is, though.

(Actually, I was hoping I would reach the sekret "can reinvent myself" level on the rollover. No dice (so to speak)).

We should have an annual vote on the next year's theme. Only as a recommendation in case we get a bit unruly with the topics.

I would like an immediate change to famous cats.

They originally were assigned by the system. They were things like novice, beginner, expert, world class, etc.

Just like the current ones, the one you got was related to the number of post. Turns out, some people meant, the title related to level of bridge skill (only meant to number of post). So someone (not me) got the bright idea to change them. I think the first change was to food items. This is something like the 5th change, not sure, I haven't been keeping up with it.

I like the poll idea... I was thinking different colleges...of course most post you become a GATOR.... <_<, least post a seminole or maybe a bulldog

Gators do run their mouths a lot, so would have many posts.

Those with control would smartly change theirs to Wolverine, obv.

I suppose I now have been formally verified in my status, by BBO omission.

Pretty sure Rain does them, or at least she used to because she made a post once asking us for input about them (csaba search time!)

Custom undertitles ftw anyways :P

Yeah I did them. Last time I asked for a vote, and I think I hinted about this change to exciting bridge players...

I actually tried to search for that thread but couldn't find it anymore. Who doesn't want to be papa the greek right?
