Threadkiller champion - so much effort for such a meaningless title. Just think; people will look at your post and say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
Not such a bad thing, really. Whose grave actually does say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water"? And for those about to jump up and start perusing cemeteries, his name isn't on his grave - just the phrase:
THIS GRAVE CONTAINS
ALL THAT WAS MORTAL OF
A YOUNG ENGLISH POET WHO
ON HIS DEATH-BED
IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS HEART
at the malicious power of his enemies
desired these words to be engraved
on his tomstone
"HERE LIES ONE WHOSE NAME
WAS WRIT IN WATER"
