Sauce, dear, my ears were ringing and now I greatly desire to know if Glirdan is correct. Would you be so unkind as to keep me in suspense?

Rimbaud. Parts of the clue ring a bell but I can't fit them together to make a good reason for it. I know you love giving reasons, Saucey.

Nope, neither of those.

Hmm.

The question relates to a reference to a royal artist in a member's signature ...

If I remember she created that artistic thread a while ago. Though I'm not good at deciphering meanings and stuff so I have no idea about the "royal" hint.

Shield A negative response, and more hints ...

None of the above.

This person's sig features the first name of a person who recently painted a portrait of a member of royalty.

A knowledge of recent British current affairs might help ...

It has been nearly two weeks from posting the question and no one has had ideas. What about a clue? Or shall I just start guessing randomly?

Is this to do with Douglas Adams' concern that Americans are makers of suspiciously untealike tea? I fear not, but it sprung to mind, and Douglas Adams is oft quoted in the sig of Thinlomien. I think.

Pipe Almost, but not quite entirely, unlike a post

I thought that was a range of vending machines from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, tgwbs. Anyway, that's not the answer.

Yes, Nilpaurion, it's a cryptic one. Also I wouldn't be so obvious as to choose a member whose name's likely to appear on any first pages.

Good luck.

The clue is a much more direct reference to the member's title. Besides, how do we account for anything apart from the 'tea' given that solution?
