I'm with ASp on this issue. I think the titles have been a horrible (an 'orrible) [but not terrible?] distraction. on the other hand, I have no aspirations to become a turtle (why turtle?) and I will retire/expire before submitting to "master aster" (I don't even want to know!)

well, obviously we're never going to reach concensus on this, so some benevolent god/goddess will have to decide what to submit to the G&P one. were it up to me, I would choose thusly:
2500 - whangdoodle
5000 - nonesuch
10000 - Icarus


oh, wait... upon second thinking, aster might be meant to be that suffix denoting partial resemblance
: one that is inferior or not genuine; as in, poetaster or criticaster. in which case, masteraster...
