	I know what you mean. If there is one problem with my name, it is
that it is an attention grabber. There is good in that because I think
it just helps people to remember me a little better, but I also get lots
of letters or post scripts to letters asking me when I'm going to take
my next ride (that's privileged information), when I do ride again will
I do it through their livingroom (only for a price), what do I look like
naked on a horse (having never been naked on a horse I had to search my
imagination for that one), etc. etc. I think you get the idea. Ah well,
that's the price one pays for fame I guess. ;-)
