Either that, or the original postor simply hadn't heard of him as a real
person (there was a Lord Ursus in the East many years ago, who had
wanted to be knighted so he could be Sir Ursus of the Liver; evidently
he wasn't aware of His late Majesty Osis, and nobody thought to point it
out to him, but then this was at least fifteen years ago). Evidently
great minds do think alike, and when enough of them think so similarly
there's always the danger of something brilliant being branded as, well,
perhaps a bit cliched, even if unjustly. In any case, I am sure it was
not intended as a slur on the memory of a beloved comrade tragically
taken from us.
