Willis Corto here. You may remember me from such infomercials as "Lothar Chewing Gum is a Dog's Best Friend", "Neilencio's House of Human Hair Carpets", and "Doctor Quantum's Sugar-Free Toilet Cleaning Fluid!".
This user name, one I have never used before in an effort to maintain some sort of Google anonymity over my real, occasionally sensible work persona, comes from William Gibson's classic cyberpunk book Neuromancer. Colonel Willis Corto was an ex-soldier in a psychiatric ward, his schizoid personality rebuilt by a murderous artifical intelligence. It seemed appropriate.

Do I really have to call you Willis, Dave? |

I invited the posters formerly known from the DCMBs as The Huntress Diana, Year of the Bastard, Red Robin and Watsonwil. Guess we'll see if they rock up.
