Who am I? Where am I?
My name is Robert James Smith. I am a professional astronomer
(post-doctoral research fellow) at the Australian National University,
interested principally in many aspects of QSO research. There's even a
picture
of me to help you determine if I am really the person you are
trying to contact.
Why am I being so precise and pedantic? Well over the last few years:
The UK research council,
PPARC,
has sent me letters intended for both
Russell Smith
of the
University of Durham
and
Kester Smith
of
Institute of Astronomy, ETH Zurich.
NatWest bank
has sent me letters and a bank statement intended for
Mats Fredrik Sagfors and Munarazaman Kahn. I closed my account
on the assumption that they were distributing my account details
to other random individuals.
Barclays bank
happily informed me they had issued my credit card to someone else,
but they didn't know who. In the end it turned up again. They had simply
lost it. I closed that account too.
Cambridgeshire county council
have sent me a court summons intended for Mr Robert S Smith.
I understand that Smith is a common name, and can cause a
certain amount of confusion, but `Mats Fredrik Sagfors'? Anyway,
here's my current address. Do get in touch....
