It's an evil plot by Dogbert I tells ya...

All jokes aside, you're probably right - at work over the years there  
have been quite a few Davids come and go in the IT department;  most  
recently in my local office, another has just moved in (making things  
really confusing for the other offices as we both have the same first  
name and same surname initial).

Actually (quick survey of staff phone directory) - just over 6% of our  
IT department (of around 148 people) are "Dave" (x1) or "David" (x8);   
our nearest rivals are Peter, John and Darren (all on just over 2%  
each) - unless you start mixing other variants (eg.,  
Christopher/Chris/Christine), in which case it's Chris*, Peter and  
Jeffrey/Geoffrey between 2.5% to 3.5%.

Then again, all the Davids I've known or seen in IT have tended to be  
smart arses...  ;-)
