Ok, so I tested the archives, but had a tough time narrowing the search
to the topic at hand. Any suggestions? Oh, and it may be apocryphal,
but I was under the impression that IAKWBOS is translated James in honor
of King James, he of the Authorized Version of the Bible in English.
Does anyone have verification of this vague memory of mine?
Blessings,

There was a thread dealing with this fairly recently. This would be a
good
opportunity to try Jonathan's new search engine.
