ACTUALLY, Carl gave Peter the name "His Holiness", which Peter loved. He signed his posts HH. When this board opened, and Peter tried to register, HH was already taken as a moniker, so Peter added the third "H" making it His High Holiness.
And that's the truth.

Not quite, but close.
Originally, I altered my name to HisHoliness without the space in the name in order to compete with the the buttsnuffler who stole my identity. It then became confusing to the reader to determine whether His Holiness or HisHoliness was posting. Furthermore, there were a couple of posters who objected to the use of the same name as the Pope. One of them was you, Garth. Furthermore, I got a private email expressing the same concern with my blasphemy and, in a rare moment of sensitivity, I inserted the High as in His High Holiness. There it has stuck for over 5 years although I did once consider a promotion to His Humble High Holiness.
BTW, I was told at the time, in the same email from a source on UmpireTalk who objected to my blasphemy, that the buttsnuffler who stole my identity was someone who T. Alan had nicknamed "King of the Snufflers." That person never had the stones to take it on as a moniker.

While I never enjoyed your moniker, or in those days, much of what you posted, I didn't consider it blasphemy. I don't consider much as blasphemy and it's not a word I throw around lightly. Like Carl, I was both confused and annoyed with your ability to turn it into a positive. As you know, I've long since gotten over that.
I was the one Tee dubbed "King of the Butt Snuffler" for my defense of Carl against some charges made by some at McGriffs. We all know what became of McGriffs.
However, I did not steal your moniker. If I had, I'd have used it. I'd probably also have gotten the history of it better.
