I am feeling a little put upon by NPR. My first name is not valid in their eyes..

This was a what the heck moment for me.  I tried to sign up on National Public Radio so I could comment on an article on their website, but got into this loop.

Is "Gene" such an outmoded name?

 I just googled "famous people named Gene" and got THIS list.  Most are dead. 

Nevermind.  My comment was going to be lame anyway...
