RE: injecting a little whimsy into grey text

["Chris Vickery" <cvickery -at- arenasolutions -dot- com>]

I often have to use fictional user names and product names while
documenting or testing our product. I even have a "John Smallberries"
user who gets a look in from time to time. For anything published, I try
to keep the references pretty obscure, but they are there.

I always liked to use my name as well as the names of others in the
group.
Not only was it a little bit subversive to do so, it also indicated that
you actually did work on the document if you used it for a portfolio
piece.
