True, true, but it's not as though Mr. Mason just dashed the tome off 
in a few days. Many sources and persons were consulted, and among the 
members of the Committee on Nomenclature were: Erroll Crowl, LaRoy 
Edwards, Lew Herwig, Newton Hunt, Steve Jellen, Roger Weisensteiner, 
Francis Mehaffey, Dean Howell, and some others whose names I don't 
recognize. And if you don't believe these men were (whoops, LaRoy is 
still with us, are -- is Lew still with us?) Authorities, you don't 
know as much as you think you do.
Contact the Home Office if you're volunteering to serve as Editor for a 
third revised edition.
