alexander koryagin to Anton Shepelev:

As for me I read any book got in my hands. :)

(but I am rather scrupulous as to what I lay my hands on)

Probably it depends on the number of books.

I failed to make a joke. It was inspired by one about
Windows:

-- They say Windows is user-friendly.
-- But it is very picky about whom it calls a friend!

And I especially mean a real paper books. I feel more
pleasure reading them, marking words, phrases etc.

I too prefer paper books, but anti-Russia sactions have made
them very hard to buy abroad.

Hi, Alexander! Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:

Congratulations upon capitalisation of your name :-)

It was the initiative of Tommi's gate, not mine.

Ah. I'd noticed it seemed to happen at some times but not others... maybe depending on where you were posting from. While I've grown accustomed to seeing your name without capitalization, either or both serve the purpose. :-)

Long ago when fidonet was a quiet populous place
there were many people with initials AK, and it
was confusing to have discussions with them. So
I modestly had made my initials small. ;)

Thank you. That made it a lot easier to keep track of who said what ... especially when multiple quotes were used.

In those days we also had two or three people here with the initials "AS", one of whom helped clarify such things by adding his middle initial. And even now there are at least three Fidonet Syops with the initials "ML".... :-Q
