The World Wide Web is a wonderful place for people who want to validate their fact-free political opinions, verify their paranoid conspiracy theories, and assure themselves that they are not alone in having been abducted by aliens.
It's also an interesting place to find out who you are.
For example, I looked for myself via Google and found a number of responses. Let me sort them out for you:
I am not the Roy Hayes who died in 1832, nor am I the one who was indicted for embezzlement in 1909.
Especially I'm not the Roy Hayes who bills himself as an Episcopalian "Priest-at-large in cyberspace" and posts antisemetic commentary on left-wing and intifada websites. Fact is, I'm not even sure that "Roy Hayes" is this self-styled priest's real name, or if anyone in the Episcopal or Anglican hierarchy has ever heard of this guy.
I am the Roy Hayes who writes rousing espionage novels and is catching up on his reading in Las Vegas, where he lives with his memories and his intermittently affectionate cat e e cummings.
