If I recall correctly, my concern (in a private message to Stephen), was
that in the course of a Google search to check out his information I had
inadvertently come across one of his alleged jokes on TIPS that might have
been misconstrued by an outsider unused to Stephen�s idiosyncratic sense
of humour. (More accurately, I found it so amusing that I felt I needed to
share the joke with him.)

More seriously, when Stephen first reported this I thought it might have
some kind of self-censoring influence on my postings on TIPS, but it�s not
made the slightest difference. I think it may be rather like participants
on reality TV who soon forget the cameras are there.
