Captain Xark passed on into the netherworld of nom de plume's yesterday, succumbing, perhaps acquiescing to other parties on the web interested in his namespace. 

He gave it a lot of thought, and so have I.  Which is why, I, Admiral Grout Panache, will also be sailing forth into the overly known territories of overlapping syllabic combinations.  It just wasn't meant to be, was fun while it lasted.  

But what do you do when you have a common name?  Or a name too common?   

In the future, I suppose neither of us will attach titles of maritime authority to ourselves, unless of course, either of us actually gets a vessel of some kind.  

That said, it's been fun, though not enough.   The account will still be checked from time to time, so please send a message if you'd like and we'll let you know where we re-emerge.  

Sincerely and metaphorically,
