It is probably unfair to berate an American for not knowing of Nic Jones. That is one of the odd things about Mudcat which I find strangely endearing: the fact that it is sometimes the host for two separate debates within the same thread.

Although I am not a great fan of the honours system, Nic strikes me as an absolutely classic example of someone who deserves recognition. I agree with the contribution from Weasel about the bestw ay of giving him a chance of getting it.
