Okay, off by three years on the date and I got the surname wrong, but still
-- although Jaimie and I are on the same general side of this argument, I
disagree with this point of comparison: as Mike Bennett points out, the

sort of people who remember this sort of thing. The only real point of
disagreement seems to be just how big that subset is.
