Psst, Yves.. The silent voices whispered, again..

Dav(id) is just out of control these last couple of weeks. He simply can't be caught!

Maybe he won't reveal his type tricks, but there's one thing I've always wondered about ... why the (id) as separate from the Dav? Is this just something I'm not clued into? If I type David will it offend? And while we're here, why is Stephen Coles sometimes referred to as Stewf and do only personal friends call him that? What is preferred here?

My hope is not to offend anyone by using the incorrect use of their name or irritate them by using a personal nickname when a formal one is preferred.

Yves, how do you know he doesn't prefer Jamie?

Been covered before Patricia (Patty). July 06, 2004 post by Yves but I can't find the thread, only the individual post. I prefer James and don't know why I put Jamie as my login name. Guess it must have been an idiot moment. I really don't care what I'm called as long as it's not **** . The Real Name/Login Name thing has a lot to do with it I think. I think only one, like the real name, should be displayed. Now on to other mysteries such as Is Cheshire Dave offended if you leave off the Cheshire?

Indeed Yves. Whoa! I was joking about the whole take offense thing, but now I know. Danke.

More great stuff from that thead

my pals call me "Stewf".

That's the type of help I need Stephen. As for the cookies and chocolate, I wouldn't have the good taste in either to send you something decent. Furthermore, I've not quite mastered European Customs or postage law and since I live in country curently run by fear mongers, I wouldn't wait by the mailbox quite yet.

Hey, if you send me cookies or Belgian chocolate, you can call me Stewf, too. If you send me a good lambic, you can call me whatever you'd like!

Thank you, James..
I prefer Dav, but it may not offend me, if you call me David..

( Well, David is my given name, but I just favour 'Dav'.. And, at one point, there were quite a few Davids on Typophile, so I decided to change the '(id)' part.. Oh, and, Yea, maybe, in addition, it is a small nod to Luc.. )
