I meant to have my last message cancelled so that I could update it. I
found another more complete list lying around afer I posted the last one.
I've also added a few others I saw posted here.
[mod.note: With a 24-hour head start, I think cancelling the last message
is moot, so I won't bother. In the future, though, if anyone wants to
submit other designations, please post only those that add to, or differ
from, this list. Also, if I can impose on Mr. Creps, I'll ask him to
archive this list, and add to it as other designations are posted. I'm
sure that, in the future, someone will want this same information again.
