Hi Nicholas.
unfortunately, no relation- Ive had this email address
for nearly 10 years now and Byron has been a sort of
nightmare attached with this email. i've received a
huge number of random emails asking if I was "Byron
The Bulb"- I've done a massive amount of searching on
the internet over the years and found nothing.
Eitherway, I should think of getting a new email
account. Afterall, who keeps a yahoo account this
long? :)
Cheers,
Isaac
