misspelling other people name is the worst of bad manners

Dear Enrico,

I have the sort of name which is mis-spelled often. I have never, ever, given it a second thought. I have never heard of it being "the worst of bad manners". If possible, maybe you read an even older book on etiquette than I do?

When earlier writing a reply to you, I also spelled your name incorrectly. I did it quite by accident, and the same spelling as Quasar.

As to learning to read and write? What is all that about? If you are asking Quasar to improve his English I have to say that his is much better than yours. However, I also have to say I can understand you when you write. So it wouldn't/shouldn't matter if Quasar or anyone else's is like yours.

Yes, you are right when it comes to technical terms (although I've not noticed Quasar getting that sort of stuff wrong). Technical terms mean specific things, and if used incorrectly, mean the wrong thing (different from what anyone is trying to say).

I notice that Quasar continues to be polite to you, despite two apparent verbal tirades that I see no reason for. I know who I personally regard as having the better manners.

Dear Enrico,

How can you tell other people not to post wherever they like elsewhere on the internet? After all, you must be subscribed elsewhere...

Strictly speaking, he cannot tell them not to post anywhere. However, he can tell them (as can I) that their posts will be deleted everywhere that he can do so, and ignored elsewhere.

The thing is, it is considered rude to multiple post AT THE SAME TIME. One should wait, say 24 hours, before posting on another forum thus giving the first a chance to respond.

Thanks Nic. I didn't know that. Sorry Enrico.

Regards,

Bill
