(Is this David Korn of Korn shell fame?)
Our "David Korn" is "Dave Korn" - no relation. We like him anyway.
Are you any relation to Monty Python?
Why, yes, I am! I'm its ex officio son by dint of having had to endure Monty
Python wisecracks for no less than three quarters of my 48 years. I'm related
to Monty Hall and the Del Monte food company, as well.
You must be my long lost cousin Jimmy Monty (Hall)! ;-)
(Do you know what a "monty" is in hacker jargon? Check it out in the Jargon
File.)
Heh, you learn something new everyday. :-)
