How about calling it Rudolph (or maybe just Rudy), as in Valentino?

Thanks Jim - That helps 
If I hadn't been such a procrastinator I'd probably know that, though! 
I don't know what's wrong with the name Jonathon myself..

Why don't we just have an abstract smilie created to symbolise it, like "Prince" did when he'd run out of "sensible" publicity stunts...?

Will that sort out the fact that lots of conversations I had on Saturady, are marked as 2 days ago? Surely it should be 4 by now?

"Will that sort out the fact that lots of conversations I had on Saturday, are marked as 2 days ago?"
Which particular conversations? It should only show the wrong date if you're looking at cached pages - perhaps your ISP isn't serving up new versions of our pages, or your browser has cached them. Try hitting the Reload button (or Shift-Reload sometimes works better).
But don't forget that the 2 days ago can mean anything from 48 hours ago to 72 hours ago - it doesn't break on day boundaries (because those change depending on your location).
Key: Complain about this post
