As for my name... There are a *lot* of Pat Greenes out there, both male and female. I've never known any personally, but ... In the early days of email, I used to get a lot of misdirected email at 'patgreene@aol.com' (I no longer have that address). My favorite was "Hey Pat, Julie and I can't use the Super Bowl tickets after all -- do you want them?" I emailed them back saying I was not the person they were looking for, but I'd be very glad to take the tickets off their hands. They sent me a very nice email saying sorry, in that case they had other plans for them. Rats.
When I went in to have my sleep study, they pulled the wrong file -- someone who had the same first, middle, and last name and the same *birthdate*. They, however, lived in an entirely different part of the state.
