All you have to do now is top this, and I swear, I will... ;-)

@ricci You have to pretend to not be bothered if The Register writers describe you as a boffin or not.

It is a bit like learning the art of flying as described in the Holy Books of H2G2 - in short, you have to throw yourself at the ground and manage to miss it.

See one of the gospels on the subject written by one of the many H2G2 disciples:

@ricci Perhaps also adding references including, but not limited to Monty Python, H2G2 and Terry Pratchett's books in the information you release to the world regarding your undoubtedly amazing boffinesque achievements would help a lot in the pursuit of your own personal Holy Grail.

It might also help to chuck in a few oblique references to the superior nature of the UKs domestic electrical system standards.

The Register is still a bit right-pondian despite changes in recent years.

El Reg, probably

Mace Windu saying "you are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of boffin". On the bottom, Anakin responds "execute order v4"

@dysfun

Joking aside, though, @lproven it's an extremely well done article!
