     Personally, my theory is that O'Keefe *is* Henry Spencer.
Their styles are amazingly similar.  They even both quote from
themselves.  Has anyone ever seen them together?

     On the other hand, O'Keefe, on odd, random occasions,
seems to actually know what he's talking about, so that theory
doesn't quite hold.  Perhaps Spencer/O'Keefe has a split
personality?

     Will some given answer cause him to stick to posting
sensible articles?  If so, that's my vote.
