Kim here (after a break of a few days)...  Thought I'd toss out this 
joke, FWIW:

"Erm... I was joking. I thought it was very amusing when I found a 
chatroom full of people calling him 'Voldy'..." <snip>

Now Kim sings (off key -- aren't you glad this is in an email?):

What's it all about, Voldie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about, when you sort it out, Voldie?
Are we meant to take more than we give,
Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Voldie,
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Voldie,
What will you lend on an old Golden Rule?

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Voldie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even Lords of Evil can believe in...

I believe in love, Voldie.
Without true love, you just exist, Voldie!
Until you find the love you've missed,
You're NOTHING, Voldie!
When you walk, let your heart lead the way,
And you'll find love any day, Voldie, Voldie, Voldie.

See why it's such a good nickname? ;-)
