While we're on the topic, here's a public service announcement. It's Bishakha Datta, not Bishaka Datta. The single most-frequently misspelled name on our lists, AFAICT. Also, Erik Moeller or Erik Möller with umlaut. Never Erik Moller with no umlaut :-)
Oh cmon we're not going to start using umlauts (exception - heavy metal umlauts?).
Erik has to settle with having his name misspelled, unless he considers changing it. ;) (think of all the time-saving from looking at the alt-key codes for us non-German keyboard users)
As Sue said, oe is an accepted way of saying ö if you can't easily get the umlaut. Using o is just wrong (it would be pronounced completely differently).
