Re: VMs: WMV Habdand
OK Nick, somebody probably is right in this story, I just discovered that Rene and Dana were not that far away ( I on the spot have to admit: this is really not a surprise for me :-) ) :
Habdand or Habdank, "that is the question".

Actually, the spelling Wilfred seems to come
from one source only, and if I am not mistaken it
is Poundstone.
Wilfrid is the more common spelling. In full,
it is Wilfrid Michael.
I'd be interested to know where you saw Wilfred.
Cheers, Rene

No, it's news to me as well. Perhaps Habdand was his mother's maiden name?
Unless someone knows better...?
