That of course also happens to me once every while. I can take care of
myself though -- Dijkstra however needs an advocate for the correct
spelling of his name in this earthly realm.
Imagine, for instance, what if he wants to egosurf, google for his own
name and finds nothing because everybody was saying Djikstra all the
time? That'd be terrible! What, they don't have google in the eternal
realm? How can it be valhalla without google? Impossible.
