Well, as a parting shot...

General Woundwort is the half-mad tyrranical villain in Richard Adams' book Watership Down. Nothing at all do do with SEIV, I just like the book.

You mean, of course, the half-mad tyrranical villain widdle bunny wabbit in Richard Adams' book Watership Down.

Heh, I would have thought that was funny until we invited a rabbit into our home...

One quote, pal...

"I warned you! I warned you, but did you listen to me? Ohhhhh nooooo! 'Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny', isn't it? Well, it's always the same, I always warn them but do they listen to me?..."

Being a Tolkien lover, when I first started a web presence back in the 80's, I attempted to use Gandalf and found it was in use. I changed the "f" to a "ph" and voila. I use the nick of "Gandalph Wizard" in daily life as well. Many of my clients get a kick out of this and continue the tradition as I am a "Wizard" to them.
