However I suspect that X-posting to a list like apnic-talk may not be the wisest idea, given the different populations etc, and I suspect that's what led to the other exclamation of surprise. I'm not saying information should be hidden, but perhaps two separate
emails might be, sadly, needed?</div>

<br>
I do not believe the original poster was making fun of my name, and<br>
I likely would not take exception even if the OP had done so.<br>
<br>
There have certainly been far more scurrilous and disturbing things<br>
said about me personally, on various mailing lists, so I am somewhat<br>
inoculated against taking too much offense nowadays about virtually<br>
anything personal.<br>
<br>
If one is fortunate to live long enough, one develops a thick skin.<br>
