   True, as far as I remember that was good enough.

   Indeed.

   Long enough to ask that we not call HIM childish names.

   Watch out, you know what a tizzy Pendragon gets in over such topics.

   Of course, Generic.   
      
   Easy to forget that name it's so... you know.   
      
   On another thread, M.C. asked how the Penny Poetry Blog came to be named
