While I understand you don't consider them co-workers you should at least see Robert and others as business associates or service providers and the next time you want their help perhaps you can send them a large cheque or money order for their time, services and expertise.
A lot of folks give up a lot of their precious time for FREE to all of us and if the largest contributor to the OSG asks for a very simple act of courtesy then the least we can do is honour this simple request __________________________________________________________ Gordon Tomlinson "Self defence is not a function of learning tricks but is a function of how quickly and intensely one can arouse one's instinct for survival" -Master Tambo Tetsura -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Night Hawk Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 5:10 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] Appeal for use of human names Hello Andy, When I become a "co-worker" of OSG, I would surely let my real name be known. Being a user of it I don't have that luxury (at least not on osg-users list). Excuse me if it hurts anyone.

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. > > Andy > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Night > Hawk > Sent: Mon 3/24/2008 4:14 PM > To: OpenSceneGraph Users > Subject: Re: [osg-users] Appeal for use of human names > > > > Robert, > > Thank you.
