Hi Ron,

I do agree that there is different approaches and that everything 
specific to a certain approach should stay there. But I think there 
are other pieces of code that do not so much belong to a certain 
"personal" approach, but to topics like "data mining". Also there 
might be specific approaches that should better be called what they 
are and not who started them - this makes contributions by others 
more logical. (imagine James had named "Common" "McCartneyLib")
