BD Press Release

Professor Fordim Hedgethistle, BA MA PhD today announced the launch of the Barrow Down's first Non Governmental Organisation: PEster Davem for A New Title (PEDANT).

Prof Hedgethistle told those present that he had learned from "an extremely reliable source" that davem has recieved an offer of a personal title, but that he has -- as yet -- not take up the option of submitting one to the Wight.

Prof Hedgethistle went on to say that he, along with "many other concerned Downers" felt that davem's lack of a title made little sense given his current standing in the reputation rankings, and in particular, given his "remarkable ability to stimulate intelligent discussion in a variety of threads."

Downers who are concerned about davem's lack of a personal title should post their concerns in this thread, in the hopes that grass roots support can move davem to action.

Any Downers with suggested titles for davem can post them here as well.

Prof Hedgethistle concluded the press conference with an appeal to the Wight not to close this thread or to take any kind of punitive action against the progenitor of this thread, or any of its participants.

When taking questions from reporters, Prof Hedgethistle confirmed that PEDANT is an unauthorised lobby, neither supported nor endorsed by davem, but he hoped that davem would not mind the foundation of the NGO.
