Ooh.  I once went to a Neil Young concert in Seattle that some genius
with a profound capacity for verbal communication over great distances
continually disrupted by alerting the crowd repeatedly that, "It's the
real Neil!"  Often in the middle of a song.  I may not be able to use
either abbreviation now and have stick to the impersonal, Pynchon.
