I have remembered me why it was that that man was called David Gregory, rather than Gregory David: it was to do with initials. His parents were Catholics and were concerned that people (perhaps especially cruel contemporaries in the schoolyard) would take the GD combination to mean "God Damn."

But can you ever be that careful, really? You might not see a bad acronym arising (like a bad moon rising, only less so). My mother's initials, for example, are PMS. There is NO WAY her parents could have foreseen what that would come to stand for....

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.
