Peter, give it a rest. You have been so far off base on this thread it
is amusing to the point that Peter C suggested you stop acting like a
Luddite. Yet you persist. Maybe a weekend will bring you back to your
usually sharp self by Monday. I don't think you are a Luddite myself -
but I do think you are trying a bit too hard at something.

Nicholas didn't say i18n is Tex Texin, he said *i18nguy* is Tex Texin.
Although he did insert an unexpected space, which could be confusing to
you, I can see. But I would think a man of your education would double
check such a simple thing before relying on it as fact in some
misbegotten identity seeking Easter egg hunt.

And there are plenty of people who will say that I and Tex are not one
and the same, and the way they know that is because they have seen us in
the same place at the same time. some of them are even on this list :)

Tex and I have known each other as colleagues for probably about 10
years now...I have been using i18n as an online handle since before I
met Tex, or since about that time (~ Netscape 1.1 days). Tex picked up
the i18nguy moniker just a few years back.

I have never encountered Nicholas except in this forum AFAIK, including
the time I spent living just a few towns over from Waltham MA.

So when I say don't speak for me, I am referring to :

" That means nothing to me besides the name of someone who also signs
himself Barry."

In fact, it means plenty to at least some people on this list, as they
have patiently been trying to explain to you, if you just let it soak in
a bit. Be aware that not everyone is in the small part of your
profession that uses *your* jargon - some of us have other jargon and
some of that is related to yours. If you come across some you don't know
or want to know about it, that is fine! Just perhaps it would be best to
not participate in the thread using it at all :)

Finally, I can assure you that I am not Tex, and Tex is not me, and we
do not impersonate each other on this list or anywhere else. So don't
let this concern boggle your mind for too long...


Have a great weekend everyone!

Best,

Barry
