Even in my highschool class 15 years ago there >was 2 Peter's. I would *not* refer to Skinner as 'Peter' any soon. I'd guess that you never called Peter Berger a "Berger" that would sound like "Burger"[sorry Peter] :) >Only in a tournament hall i would call him 'Peter' or in an online conversation. >Not in a forum though. It's not worth arguing about.If Peter Skinner doesn't want him to called "Skinner" Then why not call him Peter instead? You won't get offended if someone calls you anything "Vince","Diep","Diepeveen" etc That's the sign of maturity.Peter claims he has repeatedly requesting people[especially you and Arturo]not to call him Skinner.Why doens't your pal Arturo accept it?Why does he get into fight like this? >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.

But without giving my own preference, i would guess the >native english speaking get elected: Hyatt, Banks, Skinner. yes,you are right.Hyatt is gonna get elected,He'll get my vote definitely.

Very good Vincent!you have shown some maturity here,great going. I'm sure Hyatt will be very proud of you :) all the best Swami
