I've seen "Greg" used as a verb lately, and thought I'd try to define it.

GREG (v): 1. To prove one's own theories or disprove competing theories 

           by citing (usually) unpublished writings of Greg Stafford.
           2. To use any unpublished source to prove one's own theories
           or disprove competing theories.  3. To use nonexistent sources
           or sources one cannot produce as evidence to prove one's own
           theories or disprove competing theories.

I know #3 seems harsh, but no one, not even Greg himself, can answer *all* questions.
