Hi David Wright,
Once again the name "David" rears its head! You are mixing my
response with David Kastrup's
This all reminds me of my undergraduate days in the late 80s/early
90s. I remember feeling a little affronted by a flyer for a party
that started "Hey Dave!" since of course I turned to look... There
were so many "Davids" on campus. (Apparently it was the most common
US name in my birth year.)
Best,
David Nalesnik
