But I am not a reporter, my friend :D I try to follow the usual (altough perhaps outfashioned) rule: use first name for those people with whom I have had personal contact (maybe not too personal, even an exchange in a public forum qualifies); and family name elsewhere. So you see, when I say "Linus" I am actually being a bit pretentious. And of course I have had several pleasant exchanges with Jon and Jake.
