RE: [OPE] member names

Wow – what I said was intended only as a trivial personal request, and was not intended to put you all to so much trouble: sorry!

Hi Alejandro:

While it's not a rule, listmembers are encouraged to use first (personal) names

when referring to each other. It encourages a more informal and comradely tone

for our discussions. If there's more than one person with the same first name

(for example, Paul), you can either just use the first name in the belief that

anyone who has been following the thread will know which member (Paul) you

are addressing or referring to _or_ you can qualify it with the first letter of

the last name (e.g. Paul C).

What's important to keep in mind is that we are a society of comrades (equals).

In solidarity, Jerry
