I love reading things like this. It reminds me that I'm not alone (although, yes, I realise Ritchie is dead). I find it very hard to participate in these kind of trivialities even though many other people seem to value them so much that it mean the difference between a PhD and no PhD. But I'll often kick myself later for not bothering. I wonder if Ritchie did.
