Re: [OPE] member names

Don’t worry, I don’t interpret this as a trouble.   It’s important to avoid confusions about the addressee of our discussions and the best way could be that suggested by Jerry: Fist name + initial of the Last name.   Even though I prefer to sign my e-mails the other way round.  A.
