Coleman, (Cole?) I think the point is that he does have the option of not replying, but out of professional courtesy he replies anyways. He would much rather request that others offer professionalism than not reply.
As the leader of this project he does all of us a service, and has offered
professionalism himself with his level of support to the community. In return
he asks that we be professional as well to make his large contribution easier.
I think it is a reasonable request, as I would venture to guess that you do not
require your co-workers to refer to you as Night Hawk. The implication here is
that it is out of respect for your co-workers that this is the case. On this
list we are sort of like co-workers or business associates and that we might
conduct ourselves in that way to claim OSG as a professional product worthy to
be taken seriously by other professional organizations.
You can certainly call yourself whatever you may, but you might consider
honoring Robert's request as a token of payment in return for service that he
offers with asking nothing in return but professionalism.

Robert,
Thank you. I don't mean to be rude, but you have the option to
ignore/not reply the mails you don't feel like answering (or hard to
find addressing).
So, I think we can take it easy. As I said, people have good reasons
for things they do.
Anyway, thanks for expressing your idea about names. People who have
read it and has the luxury of following it will surely follow it I
believe.
And also thanks for the others who has chimed-in some good fun in
previous replies. It was good time reading them, though I won't be
having much left to spare for any more replies on this topic. As I
said I don't like debates.
PS: By the way, who ever said "Rice" or "Bush" or "Bill" are more
human names than Night or Hawk :-)
