WHAT TO CALL E-SYLUM READERS?

Dick Johnson writes: "Last week editor Wayne Homren ran
up the flag pole the term "E-Sylumites" for readers of this
electronic newsletter. I hope nobody salutes that term.

How about "E-Syluminaries" (pronounced e-si-loom#39;i-nar-ies)?
For shining examples of numismatic wisdom, E-Sylum readers
brighten the field with their collective AND individual knowledge.
A luminary is a celebrity who is an inspiration to others.
Continuing the "cutsey" connection to inmates of an asylum is
now an old joke. I see bright stars among our readers -- not
lunatics – (although I do admit to a slight neurosis for buying
numismatic books). "

[It's a mouthful, but we sure do have an abundance of
numismatic luminaries as subscribers, foremost among
them Dick Johnson himself. I'm not sure the term
"E-Syluminaries" will catch on, but it does accurately
describe a big portion of our readership. -Editor]
