Initial Thoughts
Seth Godin thinks alphabetical order is obsolete. I agree. But why change our names when we can change the rules? Just add a letter. A. Seth Godin - Now that's impressive!
People who use initials instead of first names seem wealthier, smarter, and more worldly. Maybe we can persuade Seth to add an "A" if we can come up with a list of 100 famous people who use(d) an initial. Let's do it. Thanks, all.

- Hi Bonnie,
Thanks a lot for dropping by.ahh "I'm a perpetual work in progress" exciting!
Becky had asked me to get in touch with you as you are good with squidoo.I fell off in office day before yesterday and have been online quite intermittently, and hence could not write to you (thanks to my roomie,at least someone cares,wink wink !)
I don't quite get how the "reply" thing here in the blurb works ,could you help me out on this ?
I have posted two comments(in my reply to Mary here,and I cannot delete the redundant one)

- I had a similar experience long ago with the head of Nabisco International. Don't recall his real name, but he didn't use it either.
Then there was my grandpa, given name Max Kaplan. There was another Max Kaplan in his class, so grandpa was asked for his middle initial. He had none, but said "R". What did "R" stand for? Richard, he said. From then on, everyone called him Dick.
