Lewin A.R.W. Edwards said:I think you should demand an apology from my mother (who chose Lewin),
my father (whence R.W.) and my godfather (whence A). Warning: My
godfather is Sicilian, and my father is dead, so I don't think you're
likely to get much joy there.
My _physical signature_ (on checks, contracts, &c) is Lewin A.R.W.
Edwards. Typing it like that is, for me, very nearly as much an
automatic gesture as signing it like that. It's not a name embellished
with titles or genealogical information (e.g. "Dr. Monseigneur Fredick
W. Dunsford-Smythe III, M.D."), it is simply no more and no less than
my name. You begrudge me seven bytes of initials and punctuation? What
if I stop posting from [email protected] and instead set up a mailbox
for myself at my zws.com domain, called [email protected]? I realize that only
saves six bytes, but maybe I can lose the space between A.R.W. and
Edwards, to even the score.
You know (temporarily being completely serious here), I find the
insufficiently verbose posts annoying. A thread that consists of one
person asking "what transistor is good here", a second person saying
<Pointless blather deleated>
Don't you have a job interview to prepare for? Apparently not given your
long-winded responses. Get cracking and start cramming EE knowledge! All
of us previous posters can't wait to hear how this turns out...the big 2'nd
interview!!!
Oh yeah, don't forget to study up on the flux-capacitor.
