I'll trust my English textbook over wikipedia any day, not to mention the rest of the internetz seems to believe this title was correct. On the up side, at least one person got my literary reference to Twain's short story. :P (Personally I think Leonard(as?) Simley was a hoax played on the unfortunate framework narrator.) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
