oddly enough I had never heard of tomek and snapdragon, but had heard of why_the_lucky_stiff.

This kinda reminds me of that old story about a famous doctor that could cure sick patients. When complimented on his skills, he replied that he was the least capable of his brothers who were also doctors, but less famous. When inquired why, he replied that he cured people after they got sick, where as his brothers prevented sickness in the first place, so people never know.
