F stand for Fame in FIRST?

[Aignam]

Y'know, the fact that first names like 'Andy', 'Dave', and 'Dean' are automatically associated with one specific person puts those people on a level of fame within the FIRST community equivalent to that of 'Madonna', and 'Britney', and so on and so forth, which is a frightening thought unto itself... The day I walk down the street and overhear a conversation like "Hey, did you check out Andy's new gearbox design yet?"...

I believe that people are only famous if others feel the need to make them famous. If enough people have enough respect for you and look up to you enough for them to call you famous, I think that there would be nothing more flattering than to be called such. But hey, once again, just my own little opinion.
