Locus is reporting that Charlie Brown, founder of the magazine, has passed away. Charlie has been an icon of science fiction fandom (and pro-dom) for as long as I've been around, and the field will miss him greatly...
oh yeah, that was exactly my point. Tobias doesn't mind being called Toby and I would guess Charles didn't mind getting called Charlie and my first comment was totally wrong- it just stuck in my mind due to the printed form preference but was not in fact a general rule.
