Why would they reverse it?  If somebody says "(Mr.) Lew" to me, it's 
obviously more formal than "Kevin" (or "Kev-meister", for that matter).  
I thought this was the same in Japanese.  I mean, unless I'm wrong, they 
just reversed the formality of the speakers.

I hold off for one day, and what happens?  What, you want me to spam more 
often?!  Some people are strange.  ^_-

Incidentally, I can't believe that I lost to Dov *again* for most amount
of spam on a mailing list.  And I tried REALLY hard to post as much as 
possible.  ^o^

Check out these numbers!  Dov wasted me by over a hundred posts.  (For
