I will accept one more day of entries of names, years old, and years conlanging
- seraph@cfl.rr.com -- after that if anyone else wishes to run this spreadsheet
contact me and I shall pass them the baton.

And the award for the nerdiest member on the list goes to me! I compiled this list
by hand with some help in Excel.

This is Patrick Jarrett signing off!
