Robert,

Take it easy on Anders!! : )

A google search of my own name proved VERY disturbing!!

In the Anchorage public square I have a floorbrick which has inscribed on it...

"John Grigg 1967-2062
Keep on Trying"

But at least *I* have a really perceptive quote(for when the Anders Sandberg autobiography comes out!)...

best wishes,

John
