Re: "speckling" v "staining " (was New Orleans/glut)

Thanks for contributing Chris. With both you and Katherine on board I will
step aside and let Darryl take the lead on putting it together and

developing site where increasingly concise images and terms can be
presented.

And of course thanks to Darryl!

Jack
