Tim R,

The web gremlins have struck again and maybe taking on Tim R will help in keeping the confusion down. On second thought I'll stick with either Tom Rux or Tom R.

Argh! Indefensible, my sins are. In mitigation, your Honour, stands the fact that male humans with stubby fingers were never intended to operate touch-screen phones designed for those of the fairer sex, children, and UI designers with freakishly long, tiny fingers. Me, phone virtual keyboards, typos... a true inevitability.

I always reckon I'm in a universe a size too small for me. (Some mix up in the multiverse assignments at birth or something.) At least, that explains my DEX = 4 as far as I'm concerned.

If it's any consolation to Tom, any number of people in speaking or text seem to be too tired to get as far as saying/writing the 'othy' in my name. It's why I'm quite happy with tc as a short form. (Long story short, I knew three dogs in my formative years called Tim or Timmy so I never loved it; my parents always used Timothy; boarding school I was known by surname or rude things; so by the time I was at college and might be called 'Tim', it just wasn't 'me'! Plus, as Timothy is Greek for 'honouring God' (timotheus), cutting it short misses out the God bit which you might have gathered from other scribblings isn't my aim.
