Sure, I know a guy nicknamed "TD". Although he's not exactly a friend, he is the kind of guy who'd read Extropians. He's the Dean of Metaphysics at ol' IOU, Illuminatus University. Not hard to recognize; horns, tail, red skin. Pretty affable guy, actually, unless someone starts waving a cross around. I believe "TD" stands for "The Devil".
