One author was, in the excessive way of youth, tempted to 'fill out' the Table of Organization for the Lurkers, and spent far too many hours creating a complete dossier on the unit, full of esoteric and obscure military details (an obsession he has not lost in the intervening years, though now it serves him when he writes his books).
The other author, wiser in his advanced years, merely shook his head at the sight of it and said "The Lurkers wouldn't have any of that and, if they did, they sure as shit wouldn't write it down."
Alas, he was right, and now it's all lost to posterity...
