        First time I heard `Imaginos', I assumed this was `Los Cristobal'
or something like that: there are lots of similarly named places in Latin
America because of the Columbus connection, as someone posted a while
back. But, it occurs to me, even with my very limited Spanish I can see
that `Los' would be plural and `Cristobal' clearly isn't. So, I guess it
isn't as I thought, and what the real interp. is is up for best guess as
ever: I like Andrew's `Christabel' connection, but there are as good ones
on the FAQ, which doesn't really seem to make it clear whether the place
is in Cornwall or Mexico... I have to ask, is it a totally Pearlman
thing, or is Al sitting at his comp with his tongue in cheek, while we
flood the ether trying to work his words out? Yours mischeviously ( and
ill-informedly )
