I am including my title as part of the name (like some others do - like "Dr", "Prof" etc) for the reasons I indicated in my previous reply. Besides, I used the word "indicative" in my response above, so I am not saying with 100% certainty what my gender or sexual belief/orientation is - one way or another. Now that we cleared this little nugget, can we move along please as the netdev forum isn't the appropriate place to discuss genders, name titles or sexual orientation - something I had no intention of doing (apologies to all who had to put up with this little diversion), but I felt I was dragged into this by your good self and Mr Hemminger. Thank you.
