*Sigh*... I *had* to start putting that in my email "sig",
'cuz of the number of in-duh-viduals who, after seeing my name
as _Franklin_W._Cain_ (*full* first name, *plus* middle initial),
would start off by saying/writing, "Hi, _Frank_",
and then I would have to restrain the impulse to throttle them.
(Ego to Id: Do *not* kill the in-duh-vidual until *after*
the in-duh-vidual approves you for new job!
Id to Ego: You take all the fun out of life! ;-)
Besides, every time I hear the name "Frank",
I think of Larry Linville in olive drab fatigues
as Major Frank Burns, 4077th MASH!!! :-P
Franklin

| (...) Yeah, you. I included you in because you'd been making comments about Paul's new parts, so you were 'in the vicinity'. BTW, every time I type your name, I have to restrain myself from calling you Frank. That's something I wouldn't have even (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
