Actually, the belief that the Corpora mandates "autocrat", "trollbooth",
etc.  It doesn't.  And I don't remember any directions from the corporate
level on event announcements, although that would more likely be in the
Chronicler's instructions or the Organizational Handbook.

I believe the term "autocrat" is used in the Organizational Handbook, but
only because the term was in general use.  Outside of the warranted
officers, the Royalty and the nobility which are part of the corporate
structure, the Corporation doesn't seem to mandate any official titles.

Too bad you've given up title to the Brooklyn Bridge.  I was going to
suggest to FitzBubba that he wander down and see you about it, since I'll be
feeding him brisket this Sunday.  Hope you made a good profit.
