In any of the preceeding works, you will note that the names of public figures remain unchanged. You can thank Larry Flynt for the protection of being able to parody or ridicule public figures. That being said, everyone else mentioned, excluding me of course, has a more colorful name (one that probably doesn't exist in the settings mentioned). Libel laws being what they are, I don't want anyone thinking that they match too closely with any of the characters mentioned herein. (More to the point, I don't want courts to be able to discern the identities of any individuals mentioned herein.) To further discourage needless lawsuits, I submit before you today that I don't have enough money to make a lawsuit worthwile so you needn't bother trying to sue me.
