====== Trazom ====== ===== Recruitment ===== [[Hot]] ---> Trazom. Source: npl-folk email from Trazom. ===== Recruits ===== None. ===== Nom ===== My nom is the obvious reversal. The interesting thing though is that it was he who came up with it, not I. Cf. E. Winternitz: "Gangflow [sic] Trazom: An Essay on Mozart's Script, Pastime, and Nonsense Letters," in _Journal of the American Musicological Society_, vol. xi (1958), p. 200. ==== Combinoms ==== I've combiflatted with [[Hot]], [[Qaqaq]], [[Xemu]], [[quiz|Beacon]], and once erroneously with [[Aesop]] (turned out the base had come from [[Plaid]] -- I forgot).

All the combinoms have been boringly orthodox except HOTTOTRAZOM. //Pronunciation//: TROT-sum. * Hottotrazom: [[Hot]]/Trazom. ===== Offices ===== * President (1990-93) * 1st Vice President (1990) * Cryptic crossword coeditor (1995 - present) * Coeditor of //National Puzzlers’ League Cryptic Crosswords// (2005) * Con host, Berkeley CA (1988) * Con host, [[cons:2000:photos|Confrancisco]] (2000)
