I am not Mathew, nor do I spoof him on television.
"Editor in Chief" is just an appropriate-looking handle for the one among
my gmail accounts (editorialstandards....) that I've settled on for use
with semi-serious memberships on sites, forums, etc. It seemed to fit the
setting.
Previously, it was "RÃdacteur en chef" and even "Jefe de redacciÃn"... but
people kept thinking I was some dude named Jeff (not the Spanish "heffay"
that was intended).
