Guess you missed the two votes for GORT Actually, Arkayn was quoting another post that was posted before any of the votes for Gort were cast - this one. There were quite a few votes after that post, not just for Gort. Feel free to re-do the list to make it accurate if it bothers you. -Dave ID: 1044822 ·

I think carl is not sufficiently specific. I see no two part names so carl sagan is deprecated. I also see no long names, so carl_sagan and supercalafragalisticexpialadocious are out too.
