I know exactly what you mean! I used to insist on being called Thomas, but now even introduce myself as Tom. Wikimedians often call me Thomas because that's what I have gmail set to call me and they know me mostly from emails. While I don't mind at all, it sounds (or looks) strange to me every time. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
