Did you start again when you became Orcs?

Surely, and I mean this in a nice way, you've been around since Techno was a boy?  I would have expected you to be a Field Marshal by now?

Anyway, congrats on achieving a proper rank.

As I have more errors per word than anyone on the forum, I shouldn't worry about it  :)

Since Orcs had a name change (or contraction actually) I thought it possible other changes had occurred.

d_guy, it could have been mam.

Some places in England (at least) use the term to refer to a Mum [Mom (US)]. Or as mammy for Mummy [Mommy (US)]. Obviously Orcs isn't Skywalker's mam, however  :-*

Is that simply an opinion or can it be independently verified?

I often thought that  "Just a Few Orcs" might suggest the progenitor of a litter.

I would like make known to this forum that " Orcs is categorically NOT Skywalkers Mum".  I would Like to further qualify this by stating that I have never (knowingly) had carnal relations with any of Skywalkers Kith, Kin or Pets.   :D

I would however confirm that Orcs is part of a rather large litter.  At the last count of Full siblings, Half Siblings, Step siblings and Adoptive siblings I have 16 all told.  Some I only know of, having never met the in person, Others I have not spoken to in decades and a few of them I actively avoid.

So - pretty much a typical family here in Appalachia.
