Whatever you feel, this mailing list is not managed by you or me. There 
are rules set by owners of this list and I follow them. I generally 
follow rules set by owners of chats, forums, mailing lists. The same way 
as I follow laws of my country. If person X chooses not to follow 
mailing list rules, it means he does not have respect to people who 
organized all this to help people. Thus I do not have any respect to 
person X. This is my personal feeling, I have full rights to it. And I 
feel free to add those people to my personal ignore list and do not 
answer their questions. So do many others who have knowledge and can 
answer. No real name - no answers from me. If you do not like it - it is 
your own problem. Period.

I answered this already several times. I repeat specially and personally 
to you: "Rocky" (or Christopher) is not full name while "Rocky Ou" is 
perfectly fine for me. Hope this is clear.

That would be right thing to do in my opinion.

Topic is closed for me.
