[Rhodes22-list] for Brad's eyes and those who reason only ...

[Brad Haslett]

"I'm not quite sure how to address you now that you have been elevated to the
status of a living god. If you could please provide me with some particular
title or honorific that you prefer I will use that in future posts."

Just plain "god" will be fine (lower case g please).  Or don't address
