Hi Sarmad Y. Hermiz; Re: "When people misspel my name, in a post, I jump to the conclusion it is deliberate, and stop reading."

I have no doubt that Hawkmoon was only careless in misspelling your name. I do that sort of thing regularly, and it comes from typing too fast. I don't type letters, but instead type words at a time. The name "Sarmad" is not common in the US, so it's going to get confused by Americans quite regularly.

My solution to this problem is that I use the "cut and paste" to grab the person's name correctly, and then, if it's hard to spell, I don't use it anywhere else without doing another cut and paste.
