- When I installed "e" or "j" on my BBS, I called it "joe". This is
- easy to remember, and I think it's not too vain to call the editor
- after the author. In particular, my reason for doing this was the
- subtitle: "I am Joe's Editor". Anyone remember the old Reader's
- Digest articles, where titles like "I am Joe's Heart" and "I am
- Joe's Lungs" appeared? Also, there was an alternative music group
- for a while here called "I am Joe's Music".
