Love it g But since we can only have one Queen Mum and we're all royals (I'm a Duchess, thanks to another old-timer's spellchecker, which, unable to deal with Duvall, suggested ducal instead g)... Maybe Arachne's ancien regime (if that's the correct spelling - Dominique?) would work? All noble, all scheduled for the chop? g Alternatively, Arachne's TOBB - Tough as Old Boots Brigade?

It's fun to look at the photo and remember that great conference. I joined in May '96, just after that first 100 people. I guess I'm in the second wave but still fairly early in List history. The last membership report I remember had about 1200 people on the List. That would not include the people who joined for a while and then left. Over the years, Arachne has touched many people all around the world. I think we have a history to be proud of. Thanks, Liz, for starting it - - and all of you for participating!
