That is pretty cool that they're in Meta.  I wondered what happened 
after I'd entered those.  However, I can't take credit for entering any 
title nicknames after Dragon.  Whatever ones Steve made up on the spot 
are vanished.  Barring 'Stir' which was in response to recent email 
query.  :>

I used the Scifi Weekly interview for the main page gloss about title 
nicknames.  Chris Olsen is the only other one I can recall that even 
mentions 'Jar-head' (hi, Chris!).

=laughter=  Uh, no, I wouldn't.  But thank you for thinking so.  That's 
very sweet.

This might inspire Pel-envy.  ;]
