This is not really accurate (see below), but it is also not the point
of the question. The question invloves the fact that a section of
the U.S. Code makes it a crime to impersonate Smokey--a fact which
is true by the very existence of the statute. As a trivia question
it goes no deeper than that, and the answer presented is correct for
the question asked.

Paul - I am a HUGH fan of your work and your various posts. I should have
contacted you first before posting my quibble - but quite franky, I was too
lazy to look up your email address. My real point was the name "Smokey the
Bear" which really does get my unbearably upset. Finding the LightHawk case
was just an added fillip.

I thoroughly enjoyed your article article and appreciate all the work
involved.

Regards......Alan Dear. Back to my coconut tree.
