||: David Runnion:||

To whom we shall hereafter refer to as David Runnion David Runnion.  Of
course, it's hard to know exactly what he meant, we only know what he
wrote.  Compose yourself, man!  Of course we would probably be violating
his wishes if we were to reproduce his name in any other manner than by
typing it on a keyboard and transmitting it in an email.  Although for real
accuracy we should probably find out exactly what kind of computer he used,
and in what font it appeared in on his screen.  Can we really understand
this work without seeing it exactly as the composer did? (And in his day,
was it Run-ee-un, or run-yun?) Of course, maybe it was edited by an
overzealous moderator.

Poking fun at both extremes (always!),
