I think we should keep track.  Wilson is just playing catchup (or is
it playing ketchup?) with some of us old-timers in this competition.
At some point we can settle on our own X to serve an an eponym for
the practice of Xing.  I do think Wilson gets a little extra credit
for the salutations, which could always serve as a tie-break.

--Larry, who trusts he's just in a tie with a lot of other entrants
in the contest
