Do we really call ourselves listers? That sounds a bit tipsy, whereas
"robins" has a fluffy, spring-like feel to it. I think of the fat-chested
robin striding blythely among rhizomes, murdering every earthworm it
encounters.
Or are we "Taddies" in honor of our founding Tadfor-father? Or Ellians, as
in "Iris-L-ians."
Irisarians?
Irisers?
Iridae?
