If there are two names in the same zip code it would just look like one X (I'm
trying to get a different symbol in there). I can (and have) spread them out by
"moving" someone to a nearby zipcode. I'm also moving some of the west coasters
slightly inland for better visibility.

So far I only have about four names in the Chicago area, and one of those I
took the liberty of adding for the Glenside Club itself.

The northeast is definitely the greatest concentration of CoConuts so far...
just by a visual estimate I'd say about 3/4 of the CoConuts are in that 1/4 of
the country, and about 80% are in the eastern half. Poor Willard is all alone
between Texas and the west coast (he's the X in New Mexico).

If anyone wants a list of names in their area, I can provide it, but I am not
storing email addresses. I am storing Name, zip, city and state for each entry
(plus other relevant notes, like folks who say they'll be moving soon), and the
correct zip for those that I move.

To date I have just over 50 names, 47 within the US. The few that are outside
the US I may just do by hand. This has been quite an interesting little project
for me. Thank you all for pitching in.

P.S. We still need more X's!
