I don't know. Haven't heard back from him. Hope he didn't pick A+Bert as his new handle. It's funny, but I started using Richard Kimble as a screen name back in the days of BBS's, and for all the Fred Flintstones, Archie Bunkers, and Harry Callahans I've run up on, he's the only other guy I've found that used that handle.
Sure. Under hypnosis, it will be revealed that "he" is really your alter ego.
Maybe the new guy should have, too.
