Hi again, just finished reading my pile of digests.  I'm rather taken 
with the notion of Chief Server, but what about the alternative 
spelling - Chief Sewer?

Incidentally, I'm sure you all know that rhyme which goes 'Turkeys 
heresies hops and beer/ all came to England in the one year'.  But 
did you know that one of the heresies the Dutch brought was to _gut 
and clean_ the herring before drying/pickling?  Apparently the 
concept quite distressed the locals.  Garum, anyone?
