>>So how come you all didn't have to include vanagons in those stories, =
>>anyhow?  Isn't this a vanagon list?

I am sure that an artful writer could find a way to include a vanagon in any story.  Isn't that the difference between arts and crafts?  A craftsman will follow the directions but an artist will use them only as a starting point.

Back to regular programming.  Everyone have a great holiday!
