All well and good, but some of us ( well, I do anyway, ) take
this list in digest mode. I don't see why I should have to delete
the whole list just to get rid of the flames.

Fun stuff? Oh yes, I remember that. OK, here's something to
lighten the list up a little ( I hope. )

CARNIVOROUS PLANT WORDSEARCH
Yes, it's one of those grids you have to pick out words from. All words
are in straight lines horizontally, vertically or diagonally; forwards
or backwards. And just for a challenge I'm not going to tell you what the
words you're looking for are, nor how many of them there are (ha). The only
clue you've got is that they are all names of CP genera ( or more exactly
genera which contain at least one carnivorous species <slight clue>.) I know
a couple have been reclassified by the lumpers <slight clue>, but they were
nice words...
So if you fancy a bit of healthy competition ( rather than all these
flames, ) let's see who can get this ( you may want to check a book if
you're not well-versed in CP nomenclature, that's OK - you've still got
to find them, and it's not a complete list. :> )
No prizes, just the glory - first correctly completed grid ( overstrike
names with lowercase letters, ) or just a list of the hidden genera, into
my mailbox wins ( I'll announce the winner later. )

it up again and spoil other people's
challenge. )
