To the best of my belief I have never met Henry Spencer, which is a
pity, because I've learned a lot from his postings, and would like
the opportunity of thanking him in person.  You would not, however,
suspect us of being being the same if you saw C code written by me
and C code written by him (I like to think that my code is nearly
as good as his, but there are strong stylistic differences).

Please do not spread rumours like this.  There is an organisation
called the I.R.S. which is only too eager to follow up suggestions
that one person is collecting two incomes (:-).
