Welcome back, Peaby!

In your original post, if you're logged in, you should see a button for "edit." Hovering over each button in the post will tell you what each does. In my chosen interface, it's an image of a pencil, and hovering over it says, "Edit post." In mine, it's one away from the button for "Reply with quote," which you just used.

I realize the descriptions of the two Russian "Greats" could have been more distinctive, but the Ottoman part goes with Catherine.

Nice job by everyone. Only misses were the Russians.
