First off, picking someone up about their name is a bit infantile Mr Coward, (and yes I know _I'm_ using a handle).

Secondly, I was dealing with a supplier in Germany who's name was Joachim Gerdes. Apparently (according to him), this surname is quite common in the part of Germany he was speaking from. And with his employers naming convention (surname+forename-initial) his email address was gerdesj@-----.de

So it's probably a little premature to accuse him of not using his "real name" unless you're sure that this is the case. He also offered to assist, and provided an email addy (ok, I'll admit which might be fake), more than either of us did.

So - to stoop to your level - if he's a "tw*t" then you're a bigger one! :-P

@gerdesj "Re: Not many comments on this story. . ?", good response (up until the last line - tsk, tsk) shame the original poster was a blatant troll.
