Alan 'C' is a pretty dynamic kind of guy.
Actually, having now met both 'Alans' in person, I'm sensing a
statistical global increase in dynamicism.

After Asimovian fashion we should all refer to Alan Irwin
as  'I-Alan'. This will eliminate confusion for some and
rightfully increase it for others.

There's something to be said for nominative determinism.
