I started to use OTBMMFD and its variants to show the difference from when I was speaking for the TalkBoard as its liaison and when I am speaking as a TalkBoard member/FlyerTalker. Usually, I leave my sig in when I'm speaking as the latter. Still, it's nice to qualify my statements sometimes.

I am sure as a TalkBoard member that would give you effective control of the position. However, my suggestion was an attempt to redress the unbounded ability of TB to make and pass motions without any requirement to be representative or responsive, once elected.
But as I said, it's not going to happen.

On the other side, I have been 'questioned' a couple times on the private TB forum whether my posts here violated either the TB secrecy rules and/or the 'don't speak for other TB members' rules (such as they are....and they'll hopefully be codified by the guidelines initiative, mitigating the need to do it after that) so putting OTBMMFD is a CYA to avoid those 'questions,' too.
Of course, that's my opinion only and OTBMMFD!
