9 Hi, dcoutts. Another Duncan! =8^)

11 I'm not a Gentoo dev (yet?), but I /am/ a regular on the list, and use
12 "Duncan" both here and on bugzilla as 1i5t5.duncan@×××.net, tho the 1i5t5
13 can change when the address starts getting to much spam, and of course
14 the domain can change. A namespace clash agreement might be beneficial. <g>

16 If you have no strong preference, dcoutts would maintain the distinction.
17 I have a preference, but you are the developer while I'm just a user, so
18 if you prefer "Duncan", I'll look for something else. (FWIW, Duncan is my
19 surname, but "John" is my first name, and I always put it this way..
20 There's always too many johns around -- unless you need one. <g> Thus,
21 I've used Duncan both in meatspace and on the net for a number of years.
22 Surprisingly, perhaps, just plain "Duncan" has clashed less than John
23 Duncan or jduncan did. Maybe I should now be "Freedomware Duncan"? <g>)
