What you get when you resolve it may vary in different contexts (for example, you might get a WML representation for a WAP browser, perhaps with less info and no pictures), but the meaning - what it identifies, me - remains unchanged. BTW, I forgot to point out before that "Daddy" isn't my name, but it identifies me in some contexts. "Mark Baker" is my name, and identifies me in more contexts than "Daddy", but in some contexts it won't usefully identify me at all (such as at a Mark Baker convention).
