If that is the case fine, but I have always shorten all my friends and peers names by putting a Y or EE at the end of it, habbit. This way I do not have to say or spell in this case the full name.
I guess it is from playing hockey my whole life, that is what we do.
So for ex: Smith - Smitty, Woods is Woodsy, Mills is Millsy Etc.....
I pretty sure you watch hockey and when a player is being interviewed they do the same thing I do.
So in the future let's not make assumptions and accusations without getting the facts.
BTW there is a lot posts with massageplanet.nets spelling massageplanet.netIE, instead of the full and proper name of massageplanet.net!
