Why are we constantly being reminded that this fellow's father was
known by Lloyd George?  I mean, it might be significant if he (LG)
knew him (hou5b) himself, but who cares about his father?  The
practice of trying to associate oneself with important people is, I
believe, known as "name-dropping", and is generally frowned upon in
this society.  Everybody on the net who either a) is important, b)
has important parents, c) knows somebody important or, d) has
parents who knew somebody important is invited to send me mail
indicating the details; I will summarize and post the results.

	In a bad mood because spring is here and I have no motos,
