That depends of what you want to stress.  Shades of Forgottenedness
would be appropriate if chronological decay is the point.  I thought,
from Lars' message, that he rather wanted to put accent on who wrote what,
and all of us taken together surely more look like a Big Fruit Salad!

In either case, I will surely manage.  There are just plenty of options
to twiddle.  And if I'm really unhappy, I still have the sources!  :-)
