Even a name like Russell Standish is not unique enough. The other Dr Russell Standish, also Australian, is an minister of the seventh day adventist church, and has published numerous books on creationism (arguing for it, I believe, I've never read any of them :). He first came to my attention as a candidate for the Australian republican convention (as a support of the monarchy, quite to contrast to my political beliefs). I don't think you could get someone more opposite my point of view. We always had a cordial relationship - never engaging in arguing about ecolution or creationism - an mostly via his wife, as he was a complete luddite, and couldn't manage email.
When he died in a tragic train accident, an old time friend my university days reconnected and said she was horrified at the news until she realised it wasn't me. I was able to use Mark Twain inimitable quote "The report of my death was an exaggeration." :).
