Thank you Ben, can accept that, just like t be sure (I do not like
pseudonymes) Jacky Foo has always seemed suspect to me as a name
(fool, foobar, etc.).  But I can accept Rose Scarlet (sounds like
a bodice ripper nom-de-plume) or Diane Sunshine (both acquired their
surnames via marriage) as subscribers, so I'm flexible, just like to
know what I'm dealing with.

If I was offensive to him or her, can't tell from the name, I apologize.
At a guess I would say Foo is chinese, though could be other, and were
it, say, Shixing Foo, or Foo Shixing (no Foos with that given, but have
some Wus) Just looks suspicious, like Joe Smith, or John Doe, or Rising
Sun, so I question.

I always question; name it, I question it.
