Do as you will, folks, and I realize I'm probably in the minority here,
but I STILL think that putting people's names (your own or someone
else's, especially without their permission) into manuals is tacky and
unprofessional. Examples are most helpful when they use names that are
meaningful to the user, not ego trips for the writer/programmer.
