If a badge without The is used, then we need a new vote or those badges need to go. You cannot have a vote for a new name and then one person unilaterally decide to change it after the vote. It doesn't work that way.

Excuse me, Jon. But I can wear whatever badges I want to, provided they meet MR guidelines. And NO ONE here, certainly NOT you, dictates what badge I personally choose to use. Again, with the caveat that they meet MR guidelines. Back off! You have now PERSONALLY offended me.

I'm sorry if I've offended you, but the name is the name regardless of what anyone says. Anyway, enough said. |

Jon, "The" is not important in the grand scheme. Do as you will and give others the same latitude. Charlie very nicely provided badges to suit both preferences and that's the end of this discussion.

And, Roshni, while you wait for us to start nominating and voting on our first month's selection, beginning January 1st for a discussion starting February 15th, feel free to drop by the old MR Book Club for our very last selection, Whose Body, by Dorothy L. Sayers. We'll start discussing that on January 20th, giving you plenty of time to read it. Some details, from the voting thread:

Wow! I can't believe I missed this thread, but the name chosen is great, though I must admit I still have a soft spot for "Electric Avenue".
