Please excuse the extended delay in my replying.
When you mentioned implanted chips, I knew that that was a hot-button issue, and that I needed clearance from the operators of the Mother Ship to comment on it. What I can disclose is this:
1: Chips are never secretly implanted. The operators are of a race, practising cooperation with all. They never engage in nefarious deeds.
2: In 1908, they openly implanted chips in bank employees. The operators came to regret that when they realized that the banks were treating their employees like sheeple. They no longer entertain requests for mass implantation due to what occurred 107 years ago.
3: About 50 years ago, the operators became signatories to the Intergalactic Convention of the Rights of Sovereign Worlds. As a result, what occurred in 1908 cannot happen now.
4: As a side note, the operators of the Mother Ship are gender neutral, with names that I find unpronounceable. Accordingly, I call them Bob and Sue.
As far as gravitas and being above the fray, certainly not! I will continue to duke it out, in the community forum, with the Forces of Darkness, intent on causing problems for new and would-be customers. Only when they have been thoroughly defeated, will I be able to rest.
I need to go now. The operators want to discuss certain matters with me on the Mother Ship.
Cheers.
@Martin Merci Martin aka M&M. It's impossible to concentate when convulsed with laughter! 
Not only me but all the Community Managers - @Moid_I, @Caroline_B, @Jeremy_M acknowledges and know you for all of your support initiatives. You are already getting so much love 
from other members - @chukdefatey, @Luddite and more on frequent basis 
I also would like to take this opportunity to introduce @Cat_L who recently joined the Community and Support team and now getting warmed up to the Community and all of its wonderful members 
Congrats Martin. Does grossing 1,000 Bravos increase one's gravitas, or float one above the fray? More likely you no longer require a colander to communicate with Mother Ship because a chip has been secretly implanted. 
Hopefully, it will not mean retirement. I have a lot to learn from you yet.
