There are just too many Ed Egans. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egan Egan] is an Irish surname, the Republic of Ireland is 86.8% Catholic[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland#Religion], and the Catholic Church is has been opposed to any form of birth control[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_on_birth_control#Roman_Catholicism] since about 191AD (''The Instructor of Children 2:10:91:2''). Likewise, Edward (and hence Ed) is a common English (and Spanish, Portugese and Proto-Germanic) 'Christian' name[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward]. Edward is perhaps particularly common in conjunction with the surname Egan, because it alliterates and trips off the tongue nicely. '''Do the math(s)'''.
(Note that I am stuck between cultures now, and really want to add the 's' to maths, where it belongs, but fear ridicule from my American colleagues).
So I am posting this page in the hope of reclaiming my identity. What with namicide (not to be confused with [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=namicide nomicide] - which is calling me "Eddie") being a made up word (as well as illegal, immoral, and time-consuming), I have decided that my best course of action is to get myself to the top of [http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&source=hp&q=Ed+Egan&pbx=1&oq=Ed+Egan&aq=f&aqi=g4&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=168127l168986l1l169222l7l5l0l0l0l0l187l646l2.3l5l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=8ae31e96121ca37e&biw=1071&bih=778 Google].
==The Competition==
===Ed Egan: The Archbishop of New York===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Egan As wikipedia puts it]: Edward Michael Egan (born April 2, 1932) is an American Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Bridgeport from 1988 to 2000, and as Archbishop of New York from 2000 to 2009. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 2001.
I'm going to have to become the definitive source on Edward Egan (the cardinal); there is just no other way that I'm going to dethrone his wikipedia entry in the short term (he is 79, so unless he achieves Sainthood, I'm probably good in the long-run - sorry if this is in poor humour Your Grace.).

==Problem Sites==
I don't use Facebook or LinkedIn. These are firms that exist to sell the data that you give them, and I object strongly to virtual slavery on both moral and economic grounds.
