That, Greg, refers to a less than pleasant time in 'merican history when the

I'm not talking about the historical reference. I'm talking about

Also true, I was clarifying the use of
Mohicans for those not fam with `merican history, and could have been

Bookworm is NOT an outlier here. It's just like all the others. It
has a separate sbin, NOT a subsumed sbin.
