Am I the one person feeling that the way this debate is going in a stupid
direction that is totally irrelevant to the scope of this list ?
I thought we were to discuss " Movement roles letter, Feb 2012 ". Just a
gentle reminder ! :P

I wouldn't comment Jan-Bart's wish, but I have comparable position
toward usage of particular words: If email in my inbox begins with
"Dear Milos" (especially in Serbian) by a person not so close to me, I
would treat it as over-formal tone. (One of my friends sends such
emails to trash automatically.) I would automatically have negative
attitude toward that person. There are a couple of other wrong
beginnings of email if someone wants my [positive] attention. "Dear
Sir" (literally in Serbian "Respected Mister") is worse than "Dear
Milos", for example.
Now I am pretty sure I must have written "Dear Milos" on several
occasions, since this is what I normally would write. I hope it was fine.
Or may be these mails have gone to trash.
I personally have my name misspelt so often that I do not care anymore. If
people insist on misspelling it I try to remind tactfully.
Cheers
