Bill D. and anyone else I left out: My sincerest apologies: Most of the people in the song were posters to the threads I've been populating (I left out a couple, mainly because the threads were down at the time I went hunting for names and I didn't come across them in the couple of lists I checked: most notably Takeo in Nagoya and that grouchy old Gargoyle. I'll start keeping a list for my next Mudcat song. It was fun writing, and I'm glad Mudcateers are finally checking it out. --seed
