Re: Where (apostrophe s)
This raises an issue of protocol. Is it 'wes' or should it rather be 'wesw'? It wouldn't do to refer to Joe Gu or to L (with no J). OTOH, it's a lot easier to type oldr or LR or econo. And I get MGM and Meade sooooo..... I guess wes is OK. I still think wesw is Jo Gu tho'

Re: Where (apostrophe s)
I try and address people here buy there full name but lately I have been takiing the easy way out. I will endevour to do better.
Re: Where (apostrophe s)
I'll admit to using abbreviated names, but if anyone objected to it, I have reverted to the full name. I have no objection to anyone abbreviating my name, although I really didn't care for the name "Mr. Big"; I felt like the villain in a bad film noir.

Or a screen name from a 70's porno movie..."Mr. Big"; I felt like the villain in a bad film noir.
Re: Where (apostrophe s)

Re: Where (apostrophe s)
it s not something I would do anymore that is...
Re: Where (apostrophe s)
I have called "wesw" wes, because I have assumed that it is most likely the case that his real first name is Wes...(Just like "Dales" real first name is Dale) and that most likely the "w" on the end is the first initial of his last name.This raises an issue of protocol
If a poster chooses to use their real first name in their handle (like I have) I don't see anything wrong in addressing the person with it.
I don't for a moment believe that Wes is Joe however, if for no other reason then Joe would never have forgotten his log in info.
Maybe wes has forgotten it again...

I've never had a problem with people calling me Guin. I have friends who call me that in the real world, too.

Does King Arthur?
Re: Where (apostrophe s)
In all seriousness, he apparently has some health issues, so I hope he's alright...

I haven't been able to track him down yet, but I'm trying.
