I've just succumbed again using my full name and apparently I have Corvette dealership in the US!
What really gobsmacked me was it turned up a recent article by an American academic that actually cited one of my articles written 20 years ago when I was still ambitious and wrote for the professional press (well at least for the one journal in the field that actually paid its contributors).
I was surprised mainly because: 1) Hey, it was 2O years ago; 2)The journal was not one of the respectable peer-reviewed ones, it was much more "popular"; 3) My articles were usually cynical, practicalrather than theoretical and tried to be humorous, and, well, you know my attempts at humour!
