Eric and Mr Blood are correct.

This person (from England) did in fact visit my site at about 1 a.m.
this morning. He visited a number of pages and then left.

It's not clear if he ever found the answer to his question.
Unfortunately for him, I don't have a "This is who Ruben Garcia
thinks he is" page.

I am planning one though - just in case this ever comes up again....
