... I compiled the original list, and it has been twice updated since - I think by JFR on both occasions, but I could (perish the thought!) be wrong!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

... and it certainly doesn't bother me whether I'm credited or not - but you asked, I answered!
