Maybe the mysterious Ata stole some of your mojo, Pfranz.

Have I been demoted? Just checking.

I was swapping back and forth between Capfka and Capital Kiwi and somewhere along the line ...


Well, Capfka, it's just the price of your very own Metamorphosis, of course!

Well, as ex-PFC Wintergreen would have said, someone has to do it. Over time I can earn back my lost (and totally meaningless) nominal ranking. But do I want to? That's a good question, I'm glad you didn't ask.

In reply to:

I remember reading an article once how folks named Armstrong and Montgomery continually have their names written and spoken as the other


People called Armstrong keep getting called Montgomery and people called Montgomery keep getting called Armstrong? Or "the other" is used as a term of address to people called Armstrong or Montgomery? Either way, it all seems most improbable.
