Don't think Mark Phillips was a Cap'n until 2 or 3 years after he tied the knot, @Mi-Amigo.

Great quiz for the first WRQ of the week this week, @Mi-Amigo - and nearly all Thinkers too 👍.

Not sure how much the lack of Notifications will affect the 2nd WRQ of the week - the flow of Community/Forum e-mails has dried up for me this morning, and many Notifications are stale (strangely, not the WRQ notifications - but no e-mails from them either 😢)
