Not real?  Au contraire, ma chère!  I'm just overextended and have webmasters handling my 'Net affairs.  And do I look like a white rabbit?  NO ... I'm as real as the air you breathe ... the dreams you dream ...  My classmates JH and JB can vouch for me, if you still harbor doubts ...  Your friend, Orville.

Who?!?  Orville Bene...Beniha...Benepwm?nqa...  Hell, I can't even write it, let alone say it. 

Uh...never heard of the guy.  Did he do something famous?  Is he somebody for whom I'd *want* to put an entry on the alumni web page?  Does he know Java?  Maybe I'll hire him.  Can he play ice hockey?  What's a web page? 

Sorry I can't help. 

Very truly yours, 

Jonathan D. Ball
