Re: Obert's title

Jim Clifford weighs in on Obert's lament that the title, "cub reporter," is no longer suitable for use on this blog.

While Lorlee's point is well taken, I'm a bit reluctant to agree that Tom O. should be designated with a totally lofty title. How about this for a compromise: Cub Reporter Emeritus! The cub designation speaks to his being forever young in the minds of many, and quick as a cat to get to the important stories of the day. The Emeritus designation serves to set him apart from itinerant writers and other pretenders. The title, as a whole, also avoids elitism and trappings of aristocracy.
