**G** olly gee whiz, **BioHazard** , I’m distraught that you would think I was dissing you. I was just looking up at a couple of the recent regulars when I wrote the first post, then realized I’d left out a couple of stalwarts like you and **Smeghead** , to say nothing of the lovely and talented **Osiris**. This is why I started thinking about ways of recognizing the more crazed participants of this thread – including, of course, myself.

**H** eck. **I j** ust **k** now **l** ots of folks have helped make this thread everything it is, whatever it is.

**X** iphosura is a Horseshoe Crab. I was completely unaware of this and must thank my fellow “a” thread participants for the newfound knowledge, being relegated, as I so often am, to seaching out the evil X word.

Not many of 'em left, either!
