As us USA types are told, we all have to adapt to global conventions. :-)

... which presumably explains why the (US-owned) company my wife works for has email addresses in the form surname-forename@companyaddress.... Would you be equally confused by these?

I'm easily confused anyway. If people want to call me sperling instead of tedd (it's better than other things I've been called) it doesn't make any difference to me and I wasn't the one complaining anyway. If a US company wants to use surname-forename@companyaddress, then as we all know, management is always right -- so let's all change to that. Except for the companies that do it the other way -- ah, there I go being confused again. There's just no getting around it. Why can't we all just agree? Fortunately, I have other things to worry about. :-) Cheers, tedd

What's against using a codename? My real name isn't tijnema, i use it as a codename. It's only a forename. So it's just nearly impossible to call me wrong :) tijnema

That's not your real name!?! Here all this time I thought you were some exotic programmer with all these leading-edge comments you make -- and now you just burst my bubble. As for me using a code name -- that would only confuse me further and I'd probably starting answering my own questions. Can't have that. I've used the same email address since 1994 and published it widely on numerous email list, web sites and other such publications -- it servers me well. I use spamcop.net an it does a good job of filtering spam. I would hate to start getting email under another address -- like teddsperling at gmail.com Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
