</div>Just as an interjection, I don't think that every NKI needs to be<br>
clever -- that is a theme in and of itself, so I think that "boring"<br>
NKI are good too, within reason.<br>
<br>
Your explanation about your reaction to it is interesting; you may be<br>
interested to know that the Roger Avery of that NKI is actually *not*<br>
the famous one, who I only discovered later. The Roger Avery in<br>
question isn't actually a real person, it's sort of a friend's<br>
imaginary friend, or something.<br>

</div>I'll probably just yank it since it reads like a vanity NKI (which it<br>
was, in a way). But if people want to keep it and/or change the name,<br>
they should speak up.<br>
