Mmmm...... Kewk Leong, I think I've already said that I was sorry if I got
your name wrong. It is purely a cultural difference - Westerner's place the
given name first, followed by the surname or family name. Both Robert H and
I have already _said_ we are sorry, there was NO offense intended.

You may call me "James" or "Purchase" or any combination thereof you wish. I
promise not to get offended. A very wise old man once told me that it didn't
matter what they called you, so long as they were thinking of you.

"Sigh, I hope this is the last time I have to talk about my name."

So do I. <g>
