Wow! That's a lot of posts. 546. I have to admit, I didn't read them all. I did look at the hint, and the discussion, and even the "2007 hint
picture" , and this
website, and determined, that, of the 8 words in the english language that end in "bots", two of them describe fish, one is a ruffle, one a shoe or a gun modification, and one a monk.
This has probably already been covered, but I'm trying to ease my way back into CD for the year.
