My vote: It's hilarious.  But, that's after meeting Fred in person last week & 
noting that, indeed, he -always- does all lowercase for his name, even on the 
printed program (I'm sure there are exceptions, but there were none at the 
conference).  If I hadn't met him or seen all of this, I'd probably be 
scratching my head. - MLD
