Rick,
I'll post this here, since I am sure that there are others who are at least wondering. I read with great interest your articles and you have refered to a "boa yarn leech". I did a GOOGLE search and the only reference it shows are in the the afore mentioned articles. Could you shed a little light on the pattern and tying instructions?
