While I’ve had a Web site for many years in various incarnations, I’m most often asked if I’m the person who blah blah blah. There are, and have been, apparently, a lot of Paul Duncans around. Let me help sort this out.

Specificity

I am a Paul Duncan who

• lived in New York State all my life: Ithaca, Hawkeye (northern Adirondacks), Whitesboro, Saranac Lake, Potsdam, Endicott, Johnson City, Apalachin, Vestal, Owego, and Newfield. All sort of in that order;

• went to school in Hawkeye, Whitesboro, Saranac Lake High School, Clarkson U., Empire State College, Broome Community College, and SUNY at Binghamton;

• worked for Allied Maintenance, Wilson Hospital, GE (Westover), IBM (Endicott), and WebFeat, along with a smattering of stints self-employed.

Disclaimer

I am not a Paul Duncan who

• has any relationship whatsoever with the movie or other entertainment industry;

• published any books other than contributions to technical manuals;

• has a painting, photo, or illustration offered at any Ikea;

• has created, sold, or offered any photos, drawings, or illustrations of nudes or having erotic or sexual content;

• has had any athletic involvement at the collegiate or professional level.

Distinction

Finally, if all that is not enough, I offer the testimony of a former lady friend who once asserted, “You are the most boring man in the world!” That not only distinguishes me from all other Paul Duncans but all other men in existence. Be assured she was a woman of great intelligence and discernment and would not have proposed such a superlative cavalierly.

Carry on. I know I will.
