Well, we do have a mystery here!  The timbot is offline on weekends, and I
fill in for it as best I can.  Other possibilities include that you two
changed your names since the time timbot posted, or that there was another
of those pesky mail transport errors, or that "BDW" refers to something
other than what we're assuming it does.  The only thing I can be *sure* of
is that, if timbot generated "Neel", that's what it meant.  Although, for
the life of me, I have to agree with you that it sure *looks* like an error!
In cases like this, Occam's Razor suggests parallel universes.
