Abuse of Privilege?

I've blogged before about how (and why) I ask kids to call me "Count von Epstein".

And, one friend, Sam, who always calls me Senator.

And, I'm also chair of the KMS (my synagogue) tech committee. (the one with no meetings)

A few weeks ago, there was an issue with the membership database. I logged in (remotely, of course) to troubleshoot.

Now, even though I have full access, I NEVER look at individual financial records (I'm serious, I don't), but I did feel an awesome power (you know, with great power comes great responsibility). So, with the responsibility part addressed (leaving financials to the side), I decided that the "great power" part had to be addressed.

So I changed my title in the database.

Now, (see the lower left corner), all mail from the synagogue comes addressed to:

"Count and Countess von Epstein"

Note: It is blog posts like this that will keep me from running for President, I know. But, I think it's genetic. There's at least one story of my grandfather telling someone that he was Phil Donahue (they did look similar).

Hope you view this as a harmless joke and not an ethical lapse.
