Poor old Michael Molcher.

He's doing all these interviews for Tharg, yet he has no proper droid name!

I think the board should come up with one for him.

Anything themed on his real name, or Longmanshort, would be good.

Any ideas?

I think we should quit with the car jokes.

He doesn't have it any more. He kept breaking it.
In fact, when I saw it, it was part-car and part-binbag.

Not joking.

Oh and in case you don't get it... 2m is genius not only for the two 'm's but also because he's two meters tall

(and I didnt just realise that just now... oh no)

Aw bless.

Well, at the behest of The King, I have to pick a winner ...

So, I kinda like Gary's, but as M2 (with the 2 superscripted so it means 'squared')

How's that? And how does one superscript a letter in html?

Also, Spurrier just ripped off how I sometimes sign my e-mails, so I thought I'd publicly shame the plagiarising swine ;P

I think it's a splendid choice.

Now get 2000ad work instead of just the Meg, so you can use it in print!

"And how does one superscript a letter in html?"

In olde html it's <sup> and then closing with yer standard </sup>

In new-fangled css it's text-decoration:super, as in:

M<span style="text-decoration:super">2</span>

Which should come out as:

M2

But you might want to adjust the size (font-size:0.7em) on the '2':

M2

My bad, it's vertical-align, not text-decoration:

M2
