O Frabjous day! Calloo! Callay!

There are now *THREE* researchers contributing. Strider the Ranger offered his services back in the heady 'trying to get it all done by the end of March' days but has not been on-site much recently. He'll be back! *optimistic_beaming_smile*. And now And Introducing a leg has offered to produce a piece on arch-diplomat Talleyrand. Great!
