I haven’t checked over there in a good long while. **Why Not** was active at Domebo, but she has taken a break from all the boards lately it seems. I hope she returns to at least one of them soon. I’ve always enjoyed her posts. > [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > Elephants are a race now? 😕 Northern Piper has explained it well. > [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > “Paki” is a derogatory term in the U.K. and Canada (likely other Commonwealth countries as well) for a Pakistani person. I know my gut reaction was at first to ignore it as we were obviously playing on Pachyderms and not meaning to insult anyone, but we decided there was no reason to ignore the fact it could be perceived as an insult in English speaking nations. ---

Another doper I miss seeing is (and I’m going to bugger the spelling) **Brachyrhinos** , who I believe was a birding expert. This is probably as good a place as any to make a Doper inquiry. Years back, someone had a sig that said something to the effect of “I’m a pornographer. Not just any porn but really good porn.” Whoever that was may or may not still be around but I haven’t seen that somewhat memorable signature in quite some time.
