This meta was more than enough treat for me. Very cool, thanks, Darth!

Neglected to post earlier, but cat is out of the bag and into his costume --
Guess what I'm watching right now! The Ewoks just log-rolled a Walkie-Stalker (that's what my kids called the transports.)
Thanks for the fun puzzle, Darth!

Solved sans nudges. Well done Darth!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Didn't start until earlier today, second look tonight led to a satisfying nudge-free AHA as the cat slipped out of the bag. Enjoyable solve, thanks.
