- Now, only by searching church records could one contest

- no accessible evidence to the contrary, why do folks
- continue to question the validity of this name?

- Perhaps David could comment: was this moniker bestowed
- as 'Eduardo' or 'Edward' or 'Edouard' or some other
- version of the name?
-
- If indeed as he says it has always been Eduardo,
- then there appears to be little justification for use of
- pejoratives like 'faux hispanic'. *I don't remember
- seeing any claims for hispanic ancestry in Mr. Gleason's
- web pages or in any posts in the N.G. either.

- ...Just would like to see an end to the incessant ad

MSG - Hence my use of [ d'Eduardo ] ~ RHF

* The small [ d ] for who He was 'David'

* The [ ' ] Apostrophe Mark for "Of"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostro...-English_names

* The Name [Eduardo] {Personna} that He wishes
to be Called and Identified by/with related to the
Hispanic Acculturation that He can rightfully Claim.

What's in a Name or for that matter a Set of Initials
like "RHF" with transmorphs into : King+Called+Fish
-aka- The KingFish } an old Chinese Engineer told
me that one many years ago.

IMHO - The Issue of His Name is a weak argumentative ploy
used by those who can not Debate with him on the Merrits
of His Numbers; or the Corporate Media perspective that he
represents. Being here for 'dEduardo is most likely a free form
open discussion which allows him to 'practice-his-craft'; and
discover a diverse set of points-of-view that he would not be
exposed to in the majority of professional 'business' settings
composed of many individuals like himself who are steeped
in the Radio Broadcasting Business.
