Terry is funnier that he realizes, but then he usually is funnier than
he realizes.  (Cheep shot. Sorry.  Can't resist a straight line, even
when I write the straight line.)  I shall not be in Montreal, but was in
San Francisco last year.  I grew up across the bay in Berkeley, where,
in the late '60s and early 70s, name tags were commonly worn on the
belt, just to be different.  Imagine if I had walked around the
conference saying, 'PRAY YOU UNDO THIS BUTTON' with a name tag near the
button??

But, Terry, disguised as me?  Why choose ugly?

My reputation, Iago, my reputation!
