Why not use the name Tom?

Hi,

I prefer Dan and Linda since they can be easily transcribed and even correctly read/pronounced in many languages that don't use the Roman alphabet.

Cheers

Besides, a few of us are a bit tired of Tom, no?

Shanghainese:

And I'm personally a bit tired of persons who use disrespectful comments to force me into translating only their sentences and publicly make bad publicity on me with shameless recommendations. I'm on the Internet and I'm free to write anything I like as long as this doesn't harm others. This is part of the absolute right of freedom of speech.

Cheers

Sorry if you took my words to be in any way offensive. In fact, re Tom I was speaking of myself, first wanted to write "everyone" and then decided to moderate the expression)) Nothing else.

Shanghainese,

You don't have to, mate! I wasn't referring to you! You can read my message on the front page wall to know who I'm talking about ;-)
