Dear Master Knight, Normally, I would be happy to oblige in using one's requested term of address, however I may make an exception in this case as you want fair play to be one sided. According to Master Knight, it is OK to start with ad hominem attacks, but not to answer them. Also, Master Knight has this devious habit of posting "private mail" on this list. Twice, now I have answered Master Knight's personal insults with a "private" reply so as to ease the burden on the other members of this very active list, and twice Master Knight, shamelessly posts follow-ups to the list. Not very honorable, Master Knight. So no, if I ever have the need to address you again it will be "Master" for you. Kirk Sheppard kshep@netcom.com P. O.

I confess to some doubts as to your intentions of politeness. But, being of open mind I will put it to the test: Mr Sheppard, I am above the "age of majority", and request that you refrain from using an incorrect form of title.
