For the longest time, I always thought long time ccM-er Richard “Admiral Bob” chose his user name either because (1) he served in the Navy, or (2) he likes sailboats.

Wrong on both counts, as I just discovered:
https://admiralbob.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/hello-world/

Even though I’ve directly corresponded with Richard and generally familiar with his contributions to ccM, I never realised he had that blog until now. Sheesh.

That’s because that blog sucks. :)
