Dear Media People

Thank you for all the articles about Alan Turing and my petition. Just one small complaint.

Please don't call me a "top programmer", "leading British computer expert", "leading computer scientist", ...

An accurate description would be: "John Graham-Cumming, computer programmer and author of The Geek Atlas".

Thanks!
