I saw the smiley.  If you were behind a counter in a store, would you
insult someone who came up to the counter to ask a question, then say --
ahaha -- just kidding, dear chap!

Well, I could actually imagine Chris doing this (possibly because I have
never met him, who knows.)  I still wouldn't be impressed if I was the
customer.  Just my opinion -- maybe others would feel differently.

As for my name being misspelled and/or mispronounced, it happens on a
regular basis!
I don't sweat it.
