Hi folks:

  I responded to this thread earlier, but apparently my post did not make 
it to the PCCLIST.  I'll restate it here.

  This is a complicated problem (the specific authority problem being 
discussed).  I had some ideas about how to satisfy everyone's needs and 
follow Mike's idea within a particular framework, but it seemed that it 
would require a rather lengthy explanation (and I'm a member of the "Get 
'er done" school anyway).  So, I have gone ahead and changed one of the 
authority records (n2008056697) to see if it flies as an example, and 
asked LC to delete the other (n86002004).  Your [list] belief that the 
author did make a conscious change of name-preference, by the way, seems 
to make sense for a number of reasons.

Cheers!
