Thanks, Bert, you're a real prince! (Oh, shit - now he's going to go all "royal" on us...) Yes, I'm looking forward to annap's gathering a lot!

Seriously, when you do something for others to appreciate, you do need their approval, but I don't know that a title doesn't apply just because people don't call you by it. I could sit here and write bad poetry that now one would ever hear. I'd simply be a "bad poet," or an "unknown poet." Does who you do something for define what you are more than what you do?
