For Mike Perry (and sorry if I unthinkingly wrote "Peters" for
your name):

The main point I was making about "continuer" was that it was your
personal choice, not an attribute about the world. My suggestion
of an alternative was aimed at defining a form of identity which
might satisfy YOU. If you don't feel that your "continuer" must
be in any sense the same as you now, then that's fine.

Basically "continuer" works like "descendant", except that
you want to say that you descended from a previous version of
yourself. If you don't like any notion that you are the same,
that's fine too. Each to their own.

              Best wishes and long long life for all,

                    Thomas Donaldson
