Ray Heindl
meaning "in other words". Googling for it, I also found a fancier

a site called teachers.net, where they ought to know better.

I was just thinking about this today and, long behold, here it is on aue!
Note: "long behold" was in an email I received. I Googled it and received
931 hits, many of which were false; too many, though, were not.
