Gentlemen and Mal

After careful study of Mal's comments of late it is clear he fancy's a 
unit being named after him.  How could the world's greatest CW operator 
not be so recognized?
Fortunately for Mal a team of esteemed researchers have identified an as 
yet unnamed phenomenon.  This phenomenon is informally known as 
reflector foot in mouth syndrome.  In honour of the chief proponent of 
this phenomenon, it has been put forward by researchers that the unit of 
measurement be known as the 'Malcontent' and a new index be created to 
measure the level of 'Malcontentness.'
A 'Malcontent' is defined as the number of factually incorrect and 
egotistical emails sent to the reflector in a given day.
The 'Malcontentness' index would provide a warning to all about the 
level of nonsense the reflector may be influencing at any particular 
moment.  Much like the Dst index there is a recovery period after the 
reflector experiences a shock of 'Malcontentness'.  Further study of 
past data will be required to quantify the recovery times after various 
levels of 'Malcontentness' have been experienced.    It is hoped a scale 
like that used to forecast the intensity of geomagnetic storms will soon 
come into service to allow users of the reflector to protect their 
sanity in times of enhanced 'Malcontentness.'
