{{{{{{{{{
Sep 18 22:11:57 <rindolf> fxn: Abigail is a guy, right?
Sep 18 22:12:23 <Yaakov> Abigail is a very Dutch, very male person.
Sep 18 22:12:35 <fxn> rindolf: yes
Sep 18 22:13:49 <rindolf> fxn: is Abigail his psedonym?
Sep 18 22:14:25 <fxn> rindolf: I don't know, his name in the conference was
Abigail
