 Just so I'm clear, for continuity's sake, are you the artist formerly
known as Danny Piccirillo?
   (As far as mononyms, yeah, that can be tough for systems not
designed for it.  For example, Winter, the subject of the movie
Starbucking (see http://starbuckseverywhere.net) is known officially
to the Scrabble ratings system as Winter JQXZ, since they can't handle
mononyms.)
