I didn't realise I was that easy to find! :-) I was startled to read in
one newsgroup a couple of years ago that I was dead! But that rumour's
been much exaggerated [(c) Samuel Clemens]!

Karl Dallas and I share an inestimable advantage for the age of
Google that you don't.  Nobody *ever* has problems finding me on
the Internet.

Ursula Le Guin came up with a far-ahead-of-her-time idea in "The
Dispossessed", where people were allocated a randomly generated
unique-but-pronounceable string as their name.  If I was looking
for names for a child now I'd make sure their middle name was
something like Maxtiplod or Zabbarooda.
