Okay, Clive, is that pompous Enough?!
I'll more than happily help treat any other Mundanes that come a-calling at this site.
So, where's my Regulation Titanium Spork? Or do I have to grind one from the raw materials myself? Never mind; I could get one of the new inmates to do it...

A few things - you're welcome to join (and the spork is already carved and all, free of charge ), but we hesitate about giving out Keeper titles as there is already a society known as the Keepers.
What about "Holder" or some such other title?
Just a suggestion...

Amy,
Good point about the "keyper" issue, as well as the safety concerns with the Sporks.
