Why. Unless you have it trademarked, your name is not protected. Why should it be? Why do you think your name belongs to you? You probably did not even create your name, your parents did. You are memerly the object to which it applies. You are taking IP to new extremes. If you meet someone on the street and they greet you by name will you sue them for using your name? ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
