Just as a matter of interesrt, 3L, have you reached this page yet?: Congratulations! This is the last page. Thank you for visiting the End of the Internet. There are no more links. You must now turn off your computer and go do something productive. Go read a book, visit your parents, eat something healthy, look outside the window, feed the cat, take a bath, go to nature, call your friends on the phone for a change...

Or maybe sit in front of mindless TV for 3 hours every evening, like every other dickwad I know who criticises others for spending time on their computer.

I'm sure his poor innocent mother thought Richard Ward was a perfectly respectable name for a boy.
That's how my mother ended up with the initials of VD.

Yeah, we had VD in the family too. Also a Roger, which might not hv bn so bad if his surname hadn't bn Ing.

Oh dear... It was a Roger who gave my mother the VD (her father won at the races the day she was born, so to top it all off she's named after a horse...)
No name is safe. Where I come from there's a Bart Simpson. He was Bart Simpson years before that other yellow, pointy haired Bart Simpson. So you can have a perfectly ordinary and acceptable name, and you never know who's going to come along and name a cartoon character after you.
I realise I may not have done a great job of promoting that blog link.
I especially like the 'technical tips' posts, which go through some of the more advanced features of MS Word - the ones which pertain to writing and getting edited.
