Oh dear, was it indeed - well it didn't show up in an exhaustive search..
You got the right answer anyway so you get a point!
Well done.

Sorry Carnut, maybe your search wasn't so exhaustive, because my search for "Staranick" immediately pointed to Paul Jaray's feature article.

However, since it wasn't a puzzle, I won't merge them. But that teaches us not to limit our searches to the Solved puzzles section.

Yes, that's exactly what I did.
But I did it exhaustively, trying all the individual words separately, some of which produced results of course but none a match..
As you say, maybe another time I'll do it differently.
