You've never bothered to read my .sig, then. <g> I've always done
correspondence and newsletters for my KAG ship CO, and my title was {QumpIn} -
Communications Officer. When she became Quadrant Commander, I needed a new
title. In English, I chose to use Adjutant - a staff officer who handles
communications for a general officer. This is a qualitatively more important
job than "aide-de-camp" so I decided to use {boQDu''a'} as my title.

I dunno... "Aide-de-camp" to me implies that he'd be Lawrence's dog-robber
(albeit an officer grade one), not a potentate in his own right. (Hmmm...
would ~mark be line (ie. in the Chain of Command) or staff (paper-pusher)?)
