No, Jack, I was around to have the pleasure of reading some of the
Prof's writing.  It's been so long, I had forgotten about him.  And my
'never cease to be amazed' wasn't meant to exclude anyone.

Anyone who still uses the word "dirigible" should never be forgotten. 
Our local whitewater club, the cleverly named Chicago Whitewater
Association, used to have an advice columnist named "Dr. CWA, Charles
Whitewater Athwart, PfD, BFRM" who had a similar ability to make a
molehill out of mountain through something like 'reductio ad absurdum.' 
The Prof and the Doc are both missing, and missed, these days.
