I don't think anyone would claim to be after some sort of holier than thou hybrid of Jesus Christ, Gandhi and Princess Diana (#3 on Great Britons poll). But having said that, isn't IRC all about insulting people that you wouldn't do in real life for fear of a smack in the face? My final thought: can't someone just clone Dave (Cross) for the new leader? Right, back to lurking, 2 messages in 6 months takes it out of me.
