Hplar,

And here I thought the qualification for pre-historic was prior to having
your name recorded in a book and therefore existing at a time prior to
recognition as of an individual and unique sentience of being. Considering
Mr. Gray's inclusion in the listing of 20,000 important somethings that make
up stories I think this would be a case of post-historic, no? I think it a
much better recognition of Mr. Gray's important contributions to the
preservation movement that there are increasingly fewer people dipping into
the BP pool, or trying to disconnect their subscription by flying hot air
balloons in caverns (just another head trip), than getting their names
rendered in local newspapers.
