Gr[aeiou]g Lehey:
And I wanted greg@, but it was taken. So I ended up with grog@, and
I've had that for nearly 30 years.

I was !norman for some years, but when I left Bell
Labs for the real world 26 years ago, I was forced
to switch to norman at .
That was part of the price I paid for trading suburban
New Jersey for downtown Toronto. On the whole it was
a more-than-satisfactory trade, and emerging to the
real world broadened my perspectives in many areas,
but being stuck with Hideous Naming was certainly a
minor disadvantage.
