Another year almost over. As usual, an array of different subjects, from the organ of Zuckerkandl of wombats (best stains for) to coverslippers (best ones of) have passed through. Queries on obscure ipoxs continue to rise (what are people using these things for).

The usual stars of the list (we all know who they are) continue to shine, illuminating us with their wisdom and experience.

I almost made it through the year without irritating anyone:-)

Very best seasonal wishes to everyone, irrespective of their religion or lack of it.
