OK, OK - I know you really didn't look, but, let's just say, for the sake of
argument of course, that the submission you saw was mine.

Oh, BTW, I didn't know you could "theoretically" get into the introductions
at the present. I'll have to "investigate" this further (hypothetically, of
course)!

A "crunchah" is indeed a really huge dear (sorry, just refers to the animal,
not a human - at least I've never heard it used in reference to a person).

It's a term heard amongst hunting enthusiasts in New Hampshire, Maine and
Vermont (not sure the term is known "south of the border" (i.e. Southern New
England - MA, CT & RI).

Yeah, sorry about the whole moose thing - had to give an example as
authentic as possible.
