    Good Ivory, another new thing to learn today. Tell me why is a crossjack called a vergasecca in Italian.

    I prefer the word - Specialist. I don't think Lem Putt would have called himself an anorak. :D

    If you don't know that delightful book - have a Google. Redstar - you should know Lem Putt. It is said that at one time there was a copy of his book in almost every American home.

    How about a hobbist. And leave it at that. Better yet, I AM A GARDNER.
