7.0 Credits:
This FAQ would not have been possible without several people:
- Bill vanHorne, the original "volunteer" to write it
- the person who said "we should write a FAQ about this" when the question came up for the nth time "who *was* McElwaine, anyway, and why are you all still talking about him?"
- the good people on alt.folklore.urban and alt.folklore.computers, and elsewhere, who contributed to the Call for Loons thread (many of whose posts are quoted here, with credit given below)
- Dave DeLaney, FAQ-gatherer, who in a moment of insanity volunteered to help Bill
- people all over UseNet who critiqued individual bits when presented
- Daniel J. Karnes, who did more than *anyone* else to popularize the FAQ
and of course, the Net.Legends themselves, without
whom none of this would have been possible (or necessary).

If you're on this list, you contributed or posted
*something*; good luck in finding it... if you'd rather your *particular*
here-included email contribution not appear here, even anonymously, contact me
(emailed legal threats excluded; I'm counting posts as "fair game")...
Corrections, updates, new sightings of little-known legends, new nominations,
etc., may be posted to alt.usenet.kooks; crossposting to one of
alt.folklore.urban, alt.religion.kibology, or alt.folklore.computers would
be nice (as ye olde FAQ-writer only gets crossposts in alt.usenet.kooks at his
site). Also note that martha.utcc.utk.edu, where dbd usually posts from, is
officially Not Involved in this, and enigma contains only *pointers* to the
info; if you wanna complain to someone, see below.
