More importantly, why? He's been the Bad Astronomer for years; why should he change that to suit you? (Also, I'm not fond of the name you're suggesting.)

Re: changing the BA's name
Most folks appreciate a Plait that contains their Phil of astronomy.
The name's a keeper!

Heh. Well, for one thing -- and really, this is the only thing necessary -- I'm not a curmudgeon.

Thanks, Frog March.
I agree that that doesn't apply to the BA.
