Dear Dr. Goodword,
I noticed that you hadn't gotten around to this excellent word. I'd love to read your thoughts, and I have a question that I'll throw out to everyone. I noticed that this word is often used in the pejorative, and in that sense, wondered if you think it is coming close to the insult of being called a myrmidon?
Thanks,
Sardith
