  As I remember an old show showing how Ben met Hoss's mother, she had a
brother (Gunnar, I think) {Yes, Sweedish!!}, and he made some remark at 
the end about an affectionate nickname, Hoss, meaning a very large but
friendly person.

How many trivia fans play NTN Showdown and Countdown?  If there are
enough regulars on the Internet, perhaps we can put together a
list-server.  If there are really a bunch, perhaps a newsgroup, after
the appropriate call-for-votes.

I can think of lots of stuff to discuss:
	- Team profiles and anecdotes
	- NTN technology
	- Triv Goddess gaffes and blunders
	- Favourite/Awful questions
	- Location setups
	- Location inventory for travellers

At Concordia, we have already a small core of Showdown players on a
mailing list.
