******GK: Sine neCeSSitate Glen. The site spells it
wrong. Also, for what it's worth, OCKHAM's (ca.
1288-1348) name is no longer spelt OCCAM, not even by
the French, except where the serious literature used
pre-dates WWII. Interestingly, the preferred mediaeval
English spelling was HOKAM ( and then the h was
dropped).*******
