And here's the "after-afterstory," along with my apology for my previous
conjecture about jokes on Ed Allen's Wikipedia page. (for various reasons
this excerpt from Dr. Allen to me seems appropriate). "...the jokes in my
Wikipedia page were put there by somebody else, I don't know who. It was
funny at first, especially when my students find them, but after a while it
just becomes silly, and I think I'll complain to Wikipedia...The book was
fun to do, and under the circumstances, the satisfaction of doing the book
was worth the embarrassment I had in front of my chair and dean."--Ed Allen
