I don't really want my initials all over my opinions, which is what my old screen name was. I favor some general anonymity even if our small community of the onomastically inclined knows.
The name 'hylo' is derived from the scientific name for my favorite bird, the wood thrush. Actually the prefix 'hylo' means 'wood', which is also ... fun.
