>> putting people's names into manuals
I usually work from a list of authorized names. They will be male and
female and include ethnic last names. When I use a phone number, it begins
with 555-xxxx. This number, if dialed, will become lost in the telephone
company's switching equipment.
I agree with Marguerite. Find your fame elsewhere.
