Let please append our surname initial to our first names when signing off First there was Julian Elischer, who often signs himself Julian, (& is julian@freefall) then there was Julian Stacey, I sign myself Julian S, ( & moved from stacey@some_hosts & julian@other_hosts to jhs@freefall_and_all_other_hosts ) now there's Julien Simon, who just signed himself Julien, > From: simon@masi.ibp.fr > http://www-masi.ibp.fr/~Julien.Simon > Message-Id: <199508080842.KAA00358@neuromancer.ibp.fr> Then there's Gary P & Gary J, both of whom often seem to sign off as `Gary'. I suggest folk type the extra space bar & Initial when signing off, and that "Julian E wrote" "Gary J said" is a less confusible style. ^ ^ | | Fortunately some names like Rod Jordan & Nate still seem unique :-) Julian S jhs@freebsd.org
