MBB is simply my initials, except I only have a first name and surname. On the advice of my great uncle I adopted three initials for the sheer hell of it!
Also have been known to go by the nickname of 'Bollie' since infant school thanks to my old frield, Sean. A very crude, but catchy contraction of my English mouthful of a surname - Bollington!
My name is rather plain - the name of a russian anarchist, Mikhail Bakunin. Born on May 30th, 1814 he co-founded the First International Workers Association together with Marx and wrote books, mainly dealing with (dis-)belief in a (xtian) god. He died in 1876. Here is a quote:
'I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that, if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.'
(God and the State, 1876)
I'm no anarchist. But ~15 years ago i have been expelled from the Communist Party for "leftist opportunism", which is an euphemism for anarchistic tendencies. So the name is a sort of internal joke about my political history.
As i have a life besides my business and many interests you may find bakunins on some chess-sites or online-game-sites. Chances are this is me too.

woofie,
Your posts are being deleted because your use of profanity.
I am close to changing your status to read only.
In fact, if you argue with the mods again, I will ban you from these boards.

Found this piece of code written in ksh. I have no ideas what do the stuff like ${SRF##*\.} do.
SUFFIX=${SRF##*\.}
if ; then
SUFFIX=""
