Oh, I misread AWADtalk for AWAD. I've known about AWAD since ca. 1995, when I had my own word list (called Uncle Jazzbeau's Gallimaufrey: Words, words, words) and somebody at work pointed out there was another word a day list, AWAD. UJG was never that popular outside of a small circle of friends who had email and almost never got distributed outside of work (Oracle). But some of these same friends would occasionally ask me when my UJG list would get resurrected, and that's why I finally started my blog under the same name. (And that's why some folks on AWADtalk who've known me from day one call me nuncle.)
