Okay Grodog, Rackhir - I've mailed the compiled thread your way, let me know if it makes it okay (heh - should probably have picked a night the net wasn't awash with a new virus: if you haven't updated your anti-virus people do it now ;)).

Hi. My names Janos and I'm a wyraholic.
I have no words for how great this storyhour is. The adventures of Eadric and co are as dear to me as any of my favourite books. I love that Sep started the thread in the first place. I love that it's still going. I want to add my own inadequate thanks...
