Even before then, I think. D2 arose back in antedeluvian days when Derrick
signed himself "D" and when I thought I might be the only other "D" here or at
least second in seniority. Deuterium was your idea - I don't know nothing about
that scientific !@$#.
Parenthetically, I _still_ can't identify the Freds correctly by number.

Not back then. But you must have been prescient. I've always signed "OD" to my
nieces - for "Onkel Don", since both girls had lived in Germany and had
pretensions to multilingualism. Now they both have children, I have become
Great Onkel Don (Großonkel if you're a purist) which shortens to - you guessed
it!
Don't think I ever really chose to sign DoG in this group - we have to thank
Kenny J for keeping that one alive. And for inserting me in countless R Hill
scenes that I could never have dreamt of inhabiting in real life.
