Richard Pennycuick, on (what we call) "The Bennett Problem":

Not AFAIK.  And we call him Bennett, not Sterndale Bennett, FWIW.  But
the Richard Rodney and Robert Russell problem makes things confusing.  "R.
R.  Bennett" seems like plenty of information but it's not, clearly (or
clear).  And how cumbersome is "Rich.  Rod.  Bennett" for an abbreviation?
A listings pain, to be sure, especially when a CD does not see fit to make
clear which Bennett's work is represented.  Ah, the trials...
