Well, that exaplains a great deal, doesn't it?  So much for being
a "peer of C.A.R. Hoare". 

Actually, it occurs to me that this whole "Ted" persona must be a
giant fabrication.  A practical joke, perhaps, by Karl Nyberg
(notice the net address used).  Nobody could be _this_
preposterous!  I have this mental picture of Karl pulling our
collective leg, sitting at his terminal wearing a Bozo mask so we
won't recognize him.  

Karl, is that you?!?
