Thank you, Rhonda. I didn't want to say anything, but I will add that it is much more important to me what a person is saying then how they sign their name. If Lysander doesn't want to go by Drew, that's fine with me, as long as I can answer a BrailleNote related question. We all have to go through at least one hundred messages from this list alone, so it doesn't help to write a message to the whole list saying, "what's your name?" If I was that curious, I'd write the person off-list and satisfy my curiosity. Sorry for cluttering up the list with this, but we were all recently moderated for just such irrelevant public posts. Back under my rock I go!
