(haven't sorted these guys out)

Even though we both have worked in the fields of software engineering, software agents, and hypertext, and have at least once published at the same conference, H. Van Dyke Parunak (or H. Van Parunak) is a different and unrelated person.

I've no relation to Van Dyke Software, although I wish I had their domain name.

No relation to Uncle Dicky, either.

Sure, I'm related to Paul van Dyk. We're tight. Maybe if you're real nice ta me, I could introduce ya...

Some will argue that we should have gone with the guy who walked on the moon instead of the guy who rides bikes for a living. But, come on. Neil? Please. Come back when you've got a man's name, space cowboy.
