<snip of stuff on "Steven" King>

Do get the name right for the most popular writer of our time: "Stephen."

What do you mean by "most popular?" "Most books sold" or something?
I'd love to see the rankings by which Stephen King comes out as
"most popular" to see which other authors are on that list (specifically
to see where Rowling falls on the list and to see if Pratchett is
anywhere near qualifying).

Catch you later.
