>additional categories seem superfluous, since we cannot even keep "Miscellany"

well, it seems that we now have a *third (3rd) interpretation!

a) AWAD weekly themes
b) AWADtalk user titles
c) AWADtalk categories

good luck to you, wow, in sorting this one out!

My abject apology for causing the confusion.
(groveling in the dust before you all -e)


Not a new category, not a new theme, the TITLE request is for the information of The Great Anu and his Wonderful Worker Bees as to our preferences for what titles could be awarded after the exalted rank of Pooh-Bah. I think this came as a result of the general disapprobation of the present ascendancy of titles after Pooh Bah.
wow
Please forgive and offer titles. Please?

If I recall a semi-recent wwftd correctly, aeolist might be a proper fit, in keeping with Sparteye's suggestions.

(And "bombast" seems to be a category error, relative to the other suggestions - shouldn't it be one who produces bombast? Perhaps bombastard?)

...and akin to incessant talkers, terms to describe prolific writers. A person with many, many, many posts just ought to be called Steven King.

Hey, wait a sec, Sparteye ... there is one and only one King around here and his name is Anu!

How about Board Master for the *very *top ranking?
Or is that leaving the person open for Bored Master puns? You out there somewhere TEd?

Why does any of it matter? harrumphs half our tag team.

Well, the linguist’s Halliday-inspired answer might be: what we do here is produce collaborative texts with both ideational meaning and interpersonal meaning – the need to express not only ideas but also our social relationships with others.

We just have to make sure there is some kind of balance of content and context, to avoid sounding like the tedious yapping of stray dogs!
