Thanks so much for the link, Count. As blacksmiths and shamans descend 
from the very same roots, the use of meteoritical iron is inevitable in 
such a case. Unfortunately I don't know Sir Pratchetts books - 
quotations such as “Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling 
to get out” are a perfect motivation to change this.

Best as ever

Every year the Queen's Christmas list has as many as a thousand persons nominated to receive a knighthood, or a recognition as a Dame. Sir Lawrence Olivier, Elton John, Steven Hawkings, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, etc. Personages from the entertainment field, business, outstanding scientific accomplishments,etc.
