A little too subtle, even for me. I've been called "Caltex", "Kelloggs",
"Crawlaway" and a few un-postables, but never "Hallway".
One minor fault I have is that I can be a bit precious about the spelling of
my surname, as very few people get it right (even my own employer, with whom I
have worked for nearly six years). The Americans have come up with a veritable
plethora of spellings (Oops! Shouldn't say anything too nasty as a few of them
are having a rather heated discussion in here at the moment ;-)

It went away with the Monty Python crew. Now *that* was humour at it's best.
Rowan Atkinson is keeping it going, but he's just one (but still great) man.

| (...) Nah, it's not a fault - stick with it! It's a common courtesy to get someones name right. Just now the web seems to be filled with affluent 'westerners', but when it becomes a more truely global medium, we'll be grateful for all the practice (...)
