Nor does Easily Discovered Man.  I always expected wReam and Roger to
write their own entries but, hmm, looks like they never did. :)

Seriously though, I remember there was a time when people would worry
about not being included on the roster for fear of, literally, not
being considered an official member of the LNH.  I suppose we could go
back to having the roster posted to the group rather than try to
update the one on line but then we'd have pointless discussions as to
who was still around and who had left and who was currently dead, etc.
 The way I figure it, if a character isn't being written about then
he/she isn't an active member any more. :)
