My experience is different, but I didn't have any hard figures, so I
thought I'd do a little analysis. I searched on "Morrow" and got 207
hits (posts still on my newserver for this group). Being stupid this
morning, I forgot that when I tried to look at them, my news client
would run them through my filters. OK, I'm down to 2! I guess my
filters are working pretty well. Here are the two:

"Gregory_Morrow" >
"Sneckory_Morrow" >

So, in conclusion, Greg either changes his name, his address or both.
I'm not interested in pursuing this further to figure out how much of
each.
