	I like the idea, but I'm personally not a fan of inventing variations on peoples' names to hide the name they are best known by. I mean, I know 'Jason' is really his middle name (to take one example), but I would bet large sums of money he has NEVER in any context gone by the name C. Jason Witten. Also, you have Daniel Tompkins' name spelled wrong, FYI.

	@floydpink- The instructions specifically tell you that names will be changed to protect the obvious. If not, it's just a "name the vice presidents" or "name the football players" quiz. And are you really suggesting that you immediately know who "Jason Witten" is but you don't know who "C. Jason Witten" is? Ford and Mondale actually went by "Jerry" and "Fritz". On Walls, Smith and Witten I've simply given their full legal names. I guess, to me, it seemed the only way to make the quiz at all challenging.

	I read the instructions and was aware of the convention you used. I also intuited that you did this to make it more challenging. But, while I may be in the minority, I am still not a fan of this technique. To me it seems somewhat inaccurate/disrespectful. People are generally allowed to decide for themselves what their names actually are--If the man born with the name James Paul McCartney wants to be known as Paul McCartney, then that's what he's known by. If Issur Danielovitch wants to be Kirk Douglas, then he's Kirk Douglas. If Michael Jackson wants to be Michael Jackson, then he's Michael Jackson. Just because J. P. McCartney, Izzy D., and Mikey Jackson are possible variants on those names does not mean--to me--that those actually count as those peoples' names.

	I would also suggest that if you choose large enough groups of people, you'll find enough real names that this sort of manipulation is not necessary. I mean, there have been probably 1,000 Dallas Cowboys over time; surely there's at least a dozen names that sound like politicians? For VPs, I might have chosen a larger pool, like U.S. Senators of the 19th century or something like that.

	All fair points, floydpink- and I have certainly always appreciated your feedback on my quizzes. But I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Alas, not every quiz appeals to every quiz taker.

	Hejman-nice job! Some people bitch just to bitch. Try 'Daryl P.' for 'Moose.' Another that would fit would be 'Robert Lewis Lilly.' Anyway, I enjoyed it! Nice job!
