Hmmm.  You know, ever since I arrived in the US, people have been calling
me either Frasier or Michael Stipe.  This never happened in Australia,
although we're certainly aware of the existance these two gentlemen.

Michael Stipe I can live with :)

Indeed.  (Or, for the AOL users amongst you, ME TOO!)  (I didn't really
mean that).

However, I still find myself using / and mod even for modular types.  Ada 83
habits that are hard to break.
