If we don't get a deciding vote on the "best-so-far" poll by tomorrow, I'll publish the CYNIC poll. After that completes, I'll post a poll with only the two leaders for "best-so-far" so that everyone can weigh in and we can pick a winner.

Damn. Sentran got to my first idea first. (Should probably be "regenerator" rather than "reincarnator" though.)

Doctor: Don't over-complicate the original remedy.

I vote we change Sentran's title to: Have A Zed. Acronyms Really Difficult!

Actually a friend of mine has suggested an entry (for fun) that I think deserves to be entered. Does anyone object to me posting one on behalf of my friend who does not intend to sign up? Otherwise I will post it after the votes are up.
