I dunno, I kinda like the sound of “our brandy new server”. I just hope the second Piers Anthony attempt isn’t forgotten, since I think it is quite a bit closer to Anthony’s style than the one linked so far. ---

I’m assuming the current list is non-exhaustive, right? You’re still adding things? If so, you might want to let us know every now and then what page in the thread you’re up to, just so vain people like me can anticipate when their own contribution will arrive. 🙂 ---

Right now I’m in the middle of page 4 and will be adding about 10 entries per day until I get caught up. But as I said in my introductions, it’s probably going to be a continuing project for a while. ---
