Personal messages should not be sent to lists. It's like putting a letter to me in the press or making this a "Problems with MJ Ray" thread.

Some also use the *second* given name as the friendly name, although that seems to be dying out. "Mark" here is a jarring register. The LDAP admins don't seem to share that view, as I've mentioned before. -- MJ Ray (slef), K.
