I'm really having fun trying to figure out drbug. I've known a few people named Bugg, so I guess drbug could be Doctor Bugg. A physician, a professor, or a dentist, maybe? Or could he be someone who helps sick or injured insects? Maybe he could be a she. TheBugDoc could also be someone who restores antique Volkswagens. I know such a person in West Virginia, who is just beginning the restoration of WMM's oval-window bug. And maybe it's just a made-up handle. Anyway it shows more imagination than just plain. . . > > > Howard > > > > Actually, > > The "Drbug" comes from a gag graduation gift (a shirt with "Drbug" and 3 insects on it) I received when I earned my PhD in entomology.

I see. . .. . You're a real bug doctor. If you need any mosquitoes, drop by next summer and I'll give you a million.
I'm a retired science/English teacher myself, but I always leaned toward the earth sciences. The articles I skip in the National Geographic are the ones about bugs, spiders, and snakes. The only life science that I enjoy is palentology, and those critters don't wiggle anymore.
Anyway, it's always good to see a new handle on this forum. Howard
