The New Name

So, I'm thinking that the Internet will give everything away about the new name before you even get to reading this post.  So, without further ado, I have chosen Betsy's submission of "Son of a Sith," because it appeals to my nerdy Star Wars side and partly because I feel like I could use it as an expletive when I get tired of the current substitutes.  :D

Well done, Betsy; well done indeed!  To all of you who submitted names, I thank you.  It was entertaining, for me at least, to read the submissions and see just how clever some people are

I'm now changing topics and covering two different things in one post.  It's like writing two different letters on the same paper so that I can do my part to save the environment.  Remember my respect ventage?  It was the last post if you want to reread it (or first-time read it).  I feel like I should have also put into that post the use of the word "obviously."  I feel like the two ideas go hand-in-hand.  "Obviously, you don't know what you're doing."  "Obviously, your system is wrong."  "Obvioulsy I'm a stuck-up know-it-all."

That's what you sound like to me when you use that word.  Not all the time, though; don't worry, people.  But if you're using it to try and make your point, I think it makes you sound snotty, like I should know something that I clearly don't know.  Chances are, though, that I already know it, and it may not have been that obvious for me.  So, if you please, use that word with care.

That will be all.
