In my home town in fact my family name usually gets modified to 'Diep'. I find it completely normal when arturo refers to me as: "Diepeveen, ...". I know like 50 Peter's in total. Even in my highschool class 15 years ago there was 2 Peter's. I would *not* refer to Skinner as 'Peter' any soon. Only in a tournament hall i would call him 'Peter' or in an online conversation. Not in a forum though. He can do any request in that respect, and i'll decline it if the only ground for it, is he wants a bigger chance to get elected. Personally i guess he has a good chance to get elected anyway. Note i'm not busy with CCC elections. But without giving my own preference, i would guess the native english speaking get elected: Hyatt, Banks, Skinner. CCC history has proven that again and again that from the 197 voters in total, well known programmers get moderator and most likely with 90% chance filled up with all americans and after that english speaking make a chance. So from that logic, if skinner doesn't get elected, it's time for him to reconsider running for moderator in the future. So far Skinner is one of the few native english speaking who never was elected before. So i guess he won't be keeping that exception unless the average dude out of those 197 reads these discussions. So Skinner, what do you worry about? Vincent
