Hmm......... Iains, just an idea for you to think about, and I know I'm possibly not the best person to say this.

Throughout this thread people have managed to address each other by their given name or pseudonym.

The one exception has been yourself. For example, referring to Dave the Gnome as "Gnome" and then when he explained his reason for using his particular pseudonym suggesting you use DtG, a reasonable request I would have thought, however you then posted D the G, not a huge matter but I would suggest slightly irritating.

You compound the matter by referring to Steve Shaw as "Shaw" totally unnecessary and frankly in my opinion quite childish.

This section of Mudcat has improved dramatically recently, please let us try and maintain that improvement.

Thanks
