* The fact that the main character of this little narrative is named
* Denber is coincidental at best, since I don't even know you.
*
* However, so you will feel better, I will change the name "Denber" in the
* story to "Rifkin", my own name, to demonstrate the universality of the
* joke regardless of what the name of the character therein is.
*
* What's in a name, after all? A name is a name is a name.
* The Web is a big place, so you shouldn't assume every reference to
* someone named Denber is necessarily a reference to you.
