I understand, Clay, really I do.  Some of these folks not only didn't believe 
Joe "Bub" but taunted him.  The surprise?  He stuck it out as long as he did.

That seemed to be more prevalent in the older SDLs, prior to the advent of 
the USR.CFG file.  I haven't noticed any recent SDLs messing with S-regs 
other than by what's in the .CFG file.  And, YES, I do keep a printed 
(actually soft copy) version of my Courier's S-regs just in case...
I don't think Courier's particularly pick on those of Italian descent, I'm 
50% and won't hesitate to call Uncle Guido if they start... still, 
Frankiewicz doesn't sound Italian to me.  Of course, interpretation of the 
.CFG file has left something to be desired in a couple of releases.
