Wow, Ted a top-poster!

A professional evaluation of "beastie" showed he was not a logo and  
had served as a poor-one at that in his ersatz role as a wanna-be  
logo.   (Note that I did not say that Beastie was poor but that he  
had served as a poor logo based on professional criteria of what  
makes a good logo).  Beastie has his place.
