Names of obscure explorers would work for me. And also more names from

As others have mentioned, the Bombadil really is the perfect name for

As a classics major, I'm partial to the theme started with Atlantis...
eg, lost
lands. So, other options might be Vineta, Llys Helig, Kitezh, and Ys.
Perhaps
in a few years, America can be added to the list. ;)

Yea, I didn't receive any mail, bummer...it should have at least
shown up in my junk mailbox. I check both nearly every day.
Regarding the name thing and the intellectual property stuff, I think
some nice generic names could be found for new models.
How about "Beamer" in place of the QB name?

Hey there John -

I definitely did not get it, checked all of my filters, etc.
You may be sending them from a server on a "blocked" list, which would
prevent it from getting through the mail servers. I'd research that a bit

Who the hell is Yves Gomez? A very cursory google search turned up
