Default A milestone

I have an exciting announcement. For the first time in our site's history, all three feature articles on our front page are written by someone named Robert.

This is a proud moment for all of us who have worked so hard to reach this landmark. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Ok, so in order to become a reviewer at AG, I have to change name to Robert?

But two of those Roberts are the same person, so maybe it's just an orange letter day?

As of course it should be, for Robert is the greatest of names...

I've secretly applied for the new Underground position under the name Bob Roberts. It's filled with typos and glaring errors (much like my own work, really). We'll soon see how pervasive this bias is.

The new management of AGs sure has some impressive standards.

to my knowledge there has never been a King Robert, nor has there been a Robert worth getting to know...Roberts strike me as rather conceited and high falutin...well...that's a Robert I know...other Roberts might not be so bad...i prefer Bob or Bobby or even Rob or Robbie...Robert doesnt have the feel of real quality nomenclature
