Hi Mike,
Hope you are keeping well.
It really is strange and I don't know the answer.
I even did a Google search on the problem and couldn't spot anything
similar. No doubt you did the same.
Certainly it would make one cautious as to whether the machine has
been compromised, but given Tim's anecdote, hopefully it is just some
crazy Microsoft bug where it has erroneously matched your login
against some other Microsoft account owner.
So do you have one of those Microsoft Accounts and if you log
into it is the name wrong there too?
Though Smith is about as common as surnames get and you and I even
know a Mike Smith, it happening to be such a generic surname
raises the eyebrow even more. It's really weird.

Smart move. You wouldn't want to run afoul of Section
46 in the Constitution!

Penalty for sitting when disqualified
Until the Parliament otherwise provides, any person declared by this Constitution to be incapable of sitting as a senator or as a member of the House of Representatives shall, for every day on which he so sits, be liable to pay the sum of one hundred pounds to any person who sues for it in any court of competent jurisdiction

Otherwise we might all come lining up for our £200 a day or in lieu of that we will settle for any good eyepieces you have.
