      /me puts on his literary geek hat.

      Actually, that line is often misquoted and is supposed to mean 'Why are you Romeo?', not "Where are you Romeo?". It's pretty obvious from context since it accompanies the "A rose by any other name..." speech.

      But as the quintessential Renaissance Man I'm sure you already knew that Sloww.

                      (Ok, a little birdie explained his interpretation of this remark.)

                      I wasn't referring to you, SlowwHand. I was answering the question in the subject line.
