Amin, thank you so much for the clarification. I was conjecturing
based on what I know about Vietnamese naming conventions. "Thi" is
very unusual as a male name as I am told (by Vietnamese).
But certainly none of this detracts from TTN's quirky and ever-present
sense of humor and the many, many contributtions.
