First rule of publishing/journalism "get the names right". (says the editor child of an editor of a professional journal who started off as a journalist. People will forgive you getting their quote wrong before they'll forgive you spelling their name wrong.)

And it's too bad there's not an easily findable bio of James online anywhere. (or the other Fan Writers, for that matter.)

At this point, James is notable for being "of questionable notability."

Yes, it's not as if one could simply google "James Davis Nicoll" and have the results in order be jamesdavisnicoll.com, tor.com, this site and, I don't know, Wikipedia or something. With a photo.
