A Title for Forrest Anderson?

[Matthew Schenker]

Good Morning,
I've been wondering about this lately...

Forrest Anderson does such incredible work organizing useful links, whether those links originate within, or outside, the Festool Owners Group.  He has put together some great material collecting links into one place and making them accessible to our members.

Sometimes, Forrest puts together major projects such as his Consolidated List of Festool Links; other times, he gathers a few links together to answer a question or two.  But in all cases, he does it with such style and ease.

Maybe he needs an honorary title here in the FOG?  What do you think?

How about one of these:
FOG Link Master
Keeper of the Links
The Linkster
The Link Leader

If you don't know what I'm talking about, just go to Forrest's profile page and click on "Show Posts" to see some of the great work he has done.

Stay in touch,
Matthew

Wow. That's quite a collection.

Link Master sounds about right. ;D

Matt,

Being that this is a Festool Forum and Festool is a German company then the proper term might be Link Meister...

Best,
Todd

Good Afternoon,
Link Meister sounds good.  Although I think, to be proper, it would have to be all one word -- Linkmeister.

How about something inspired by Marlon Brando: the Link Father.

No offense to anyone but to Italian / Catholic sounding for a German based company and forum like Festool...

Herr Linkmeister, Forrest Anderson

Best,
Todd

Forrest has certainly made many great contributions, and his posts are consistently of exceptional quality and content.  Matthew's list is good, but in my opinion none of the proposed titles are sufficient, soooo... I have a different idea -- Sir Forrest Anderson.  I'm certain Matthew can arrange it.

Very many thanks to Matthew for the eulogy! I am indeed honoured! 

Herr Linkmeister (or perhaps Der/Das Linkmeister?) sounds good to me, although I'm not sure what I should do with my new title - maybe print it on a label and stick it on my ever-growing collection of Systainers?

Actually, I am having a bit of a problem adding to the list at the moment, as it has grown so large that the forum software refuses to let me add more links! Matthew is trying to solve things in the background, and once we have got a solution I will be adding some more Festool links that I have found in the meantime.

Thank you again.

Forrest

Master of the Links?

Double meaning if he golfs.

Der Linkenshteiner  ;D

Herr Linkmann

Head of the Dept. of Linkology

Or we could just acknowledge he does a great job, and call him Forrest, like his Mom did.

"Link, Forrest, link!"

That cool cat detective Forrest is "The Link Panther"

 

[Dave Ronyak]

LinkPanther would be a great handle, IMHO, but I'd be very cautious about using any reproduction of the cartoon character known as the Pink Panther.  That has to be copyrighted and use without permission could result in costly $ liability.
