Alan:

Not feeling well today? It does concern you, but I'm afraid you have no more
choice than the rest of us did. We were "christened" we didn't choose that
name ourselves. But having been so named by others most of us are flaunting
it the way Cyrano de Bergerac flaunted his "white plume" and nose!  What
would you have us do? Grovel and plead "Oh please sir, don't call us that we
don't deserve it"? Considering it's context we don't deserve it, and as JRC
clearly demonstrated it is hardly an appropriate sobriquet. In fact you're
probably viewed as one of the principle leaders of the "Gang". Cheer up
though, you're in good company.
