Jim, Right on mate. This "give me your first too" and "your suffix only" etc are only encouraging " illegal operation here in VK.
The LCD ((Licence Condition Determination" clearly states you must use your call-sign. Nowhere does it say you can use a part or half etc..... I also do not answer these types of calls. My licence clearly states I AM to use the Portable statement after my call sign as my licence address is the licence tags on my Motorhome and so I always use VK4FD Portable when in VK4 and Portable 3(?) when in another VK call area etc. Heaven forbid I heard a couple of stations discussing the merits of returning 11 metres to the amateur bands..I almost had a heart attack...(:-))..I don't even listen there anymore, I can't speak the language Hi Hi. Rant Off!
