Max More, PhD and I wrote back and forth in misunderstanding:
Max: >>>Thanks damien broderick. ;-)
Me: >>You're confusing me with danny, which satisfies neither of us. :)
>>
>>Or maybe with Daniel Lee Crocker... [distant scream, off]
Max: >Er, I don't think so. <snip evidence against this implausible claim>
>Damien, I would never confuse your writing with Danny's. (BTW, its "Lee
>Daniel" rather than "Daniel Lee".)
Yes, indeed. Quite. My little attempt at a joke or two, sorry. Perhaps
only the professional book reviewer's eye/brain is warped enough to glom
instantly onto the variants in capitalization and name order that I was
playing with. I'll try to restrain myself. (But I was charmed a few days
back when someone - was it Kennita? - referred to `Daniel Lee' quite soon
after he'd mentioned his puzzlement at the habitual inversion of his name
on this list. I took it for a tease, and fell in with it here.)
And yes, there is surely something better I can do with my life, if
anyone's about to suggest that I go off and Get One, so I'll nip off and
have some muesili now before my brain cells harden and shrink for good. :)
(Yes, at 11.40 am - I'm a late riser.)
