Zoltán:
You see, people are looking at your email address
and making the assumption that your first name is
Nemeth.
Now, you have a choice: a) don't change you email
and continue receiving email thinking Nemeth is
your first name; b) or change your email address.
As us USA types are told, we all have to adapt to global conventions.

... which presumably explains why the (US-owned)
company my wife works for has email addresses in
the form surname-forename@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Would you be equally confused by these?
I'm easily confused anyway. If people want to
call me sperling instead of tedd (it's better
than other things I've been called) it doesn't
make any difference to me and I wasn't the one
complaining anyway.
If a US company wants to use
surname-forename@companyaddress, then as we all
know, management is always right -- so let's all
change to that. Except for the companies that do
it the other way -- ah, there I go being confused
again. There's just no getting around it. Why
can't we all just agree?
Fortunately, I have other things to worry about. :-)
Cheers,
tedd
