Aren’t you a bit young to be a patriarch? However, what you lack in beard you make up for on top, unless your hair has been modified since I last saw it.

Patriarch \Pa”tri*arch\ (p[=a]“tr[i^]* [aum]rk), n.
1. The father and ruler of a family; one who governs his
family or descendants by paternal right; — usually
applied to heads of families in ancient history,
especially in Biblical and Jewish history to those who
lived before the time of Moses.Dave – better not tell Mrs Dave about this, just yet. You know what women are like, nowadays – all that equality nonsense. So wait till she’s signed the register, then just, calmly, point out that you’re going to be in charge from now on. I can’t foresee any problems arising from that.

I randomly met Steve Tomkins in a pub yesterday. I was going on about how I love Rev Gerald Ambulance, and my friend pointed out that I was standing next to the man himself. Actually I’d just seen your cartoon in the most recent Church Times (*giggle*). Anyway, you’d make a wonderful patriarch

A case can be made for that term suiting you quite well. The American College Dictionary gives as its last definition of ‘patriarch’, (no. 12) A person regarded as the father or founder of an order, class, etc. As far as I know your position as founder of the Wibsite has never been challenged, and in it can be encountered its rather singular denizens. This is the tribe – community – that you fostered, but fathered only in a very loose sense.
