I had a Doh! moment of my own, long before Homer appeared. One place I
worked used "test" as a prefix for user names, followed by the user's
initials. Our hardware supplier, International Computers Limited (the
name is now gone, the remains being part of the Fujitsu empire), wanted
a test user. It was only when listings with TESTICL banner headings
appeared on my desk that I realised what I'd done.
