ayup. The List Maker (hollowed be his name) still Lives, and Thrives,
yea, even though the Winter lingers and biteth at his ass (hollowed be
his ass),
and nibbleth at his toes (hollowed be his toes)!!!

and the Question was put to The List Maker:

oh, Exalted One, Maker of the List, Ruler of the Past and Righteous
Admins,
Programmer of The Original Listserver, and Driver of Yet Still Another
Bus,
how may we pronounce The Name???

and The List Maker spaketh thusly:

"Sorry to disappoint you but My given name IS Gerald. As a child I had
long
gone by informal, ' Gerry'.  When i was in 2nd grade or so I asked my
mom how
to spell Gerry -- with a 'G' or a 'J'.  She told me it was my name and
I could
spell it how I liked.  My opinion was that it would be wrong to change
the
first initial so I chose 'G'.  It's still pronounced the same, 'Jerry'
or
'Gerry'."

so there you have it, folks. soft-gees all around.
the Official Word from The Horses Mouth. :)

(awright. so i was wrong. just this once!). ;)
