Sometimes the custom is to use Mr./ Miss rather than the first name when someone is in really big trouble (sort of like when parents use their kids first and middle name).
I'm going to say it will be released the 32nd of June .

Yes....and spell out the entire last name!! VolkerdiNG!!
Which was my point... not so much the "Mr." part...
(Side note for Pat... my wireless access point SSID is "Volkerding42" my wife and sons are like "What the hell is a Volkerding??" I try to explain and their eyes just glaze over... after 20+ years of me babbling about Linux they just tune me out now. )

Last I heard, a "Volkerding" was a sort of German leprechaun that appears to you when you've had too much beer and proceeds to lure you into trouble.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

I'm getting long in the tooth (old. ha!), so I guess I'm old fashion, but I've always thought you shouldn't call someone by their first name until they have shook your hand said, "you can call me, Ray" (or whatever).
Just for chuckles,
Quote:
...."My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr." ultimately ending with, "but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"
