A friend of mine bears the given names Ronald Joseph, according to his birth certificate. His baptismal certificate, however, reads Joseph Ronald (there being no St. Ronalds, the priest refused to baptize in that name). As a result of this fundamental dichotomy, he has a random collection of identifying documents in both name-orders. To make things worse, family and friends have always called him Tap. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@...> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
