There <strong>was </strong>a class that fit Dr. Hardy at one time, and now there isn't. Seems like the Massacre of the Doctor's was not a unique attempt in Motie history. The difference being, in this case, the destruction of a caste was successful. Recall the Moties had tried everything in their Crazy Eddie attempts to stop the Cycles, and we now have evidence for something else that did not work.</p><p> </p><p>What do we call this caste? Monks, Priests, Pastors, etc. all imply, perhaps, a nongeneric term, where I think we should have one. I propose "acolyte" for this caste, but would entertain other suggestions for this lost caste.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>
