Yup. Sorry.

You know that's dangerous, right? Since the comment field is 
often filled out by hand, I have examples of the following in my 
mail right now: 

Dan Ritter 
D. Ritter 
Ritter, Dan 
dsr 
-dsr- 
RITTER 
DAN RRITTER 
RITTER, DAN OPERATIONS CONTACT 

all of which are on legitimate messages. The only one I send out 
is the first. 

Anyway. The OR operator is |, and grouping is done by 
parentheses. The regexp system is the same as egrep. 

-dsr-
