I feel your pain. I think the Memorial Thread is the way to do. I
honestly considered (for about 500 milliseconds) setting up
"luigi.edmullen.net" and then I considered my mother's maiden name
(DiMarcantonio) and thought about "luigi.dimarcantontio.edmullen.net"
(hey, it had a ring to it!) and then I had my fourth drink and decided
to let discretion be the better part of valor. Not to mention my trip to
Italy in September and how I'd explain it to my never-met relatives in
Figunni. (Oh, crap, I gotta start studying Italian!)
And now I am sitting here with my headphones on listening to Steeleye
Span and all that, minding my Da's Irish heritage. Ah, my. Poor Luigi!
An Italian in Sweden! Oh. Wait. I have to make reservations for my
cousin's wedding in North Carolina in May, uh, she's Swedish/Irish. Ok.
Time for another drink. Or, as Steeleye Span is singing: "My love will
be true to me."
Yes, the whole Irish/Italian thing is problematical. But, I'm a guitar
player so, instead of arias I do folk music, even a few Irish tunes, but
every once in a while I break out into "O Sole Mio" for a few bars.
Um, ok, I lost track of Luigi in all this ... uh ... ah, whatever. Skoal!
