Geoff:
You have a good memory. I'd forgotten that although I was intending to 
post to say that it /has/ been discussed on Main in the past.

My Deluxe edition, which is dated as 1999 but which I bought in 2003, 
possibly 2004 - depending on when I started getting the DL editions - 
has Marcus Flint as a Sixth Year. Of course, that is the discrepancy which 
established the new English word "flint" for an unforced error.
