Or insulted. When the hell are they going to drop Emeritus from the title of that "honor"? Particularly for those folks who haven't retired.
Even if they distinguised it from the Grand Master award with a simple "Master" designation, that would be an improvement, and apparently what they're clumsily getting at.
Barrett deserves more, as have most if not all the previous recipients.
I agree about the name of the honor. It's kind of dumb. But it's about time Neal got the recognition.
