CMC is more an antique Roman than a Dane.  I think I'd be 
disappointed to know his RL name, if he has one.  For the same reason 
I don't want to know what "Z" stands for: the mystique (and the 
possibilities) are endless.  :)

Caius Marcius
Who in spite of his forthrightness is never harsh-us,
Writes filks that are groovy
And is going to picket the movie.
