In article <15795@vail.ICO.ISC.COM>, I screwed up:
In discussing what Mr Quin took as rudeness, I pointed out that it was not
immediately clear that I should use Mr, but then said:
> ...I could at best use "M- Liam", which is an affecta-
> tion and would still leave open the possibility that, in choosing
> a more formal address, I should have said "Dr Liam".
Please, s/Liam/Quin/, and this should make it obvious that I don't have any
cultural reference to associate sex with the name "Liam" since I don't even
have an association to identify it as curname or given name! (This happens
with "English" names as well, of course--"James" or "Scott" commonly occur
in either use.)
