My name (Casper) means ‘peace’, while my surname (da Costa-Luis) means I get writing cramps signing forms.

You might think the excessive use of ‘User boxes’ implies a vain personality. The real explanation is that you’ve visited this page - and I assume you want to know more about me.

It's relatively easy to find more info on me. If I have not expressly given you my contact details and you would like to get in touch, you may only do so through Wikipedia's messaging system. Unless of course, you do something illegal... like stalking. I have never supported "mass social networking" - so, for example, the profiles on FaceBook claiming to belong to me are in fact fake.
