I know perfectly well that Singaporeans & Malaysians love to reduce names to initials, unfortunately, no-one else has a clue what you are talking about, stop being lazy! Would everyone please take the time to type out the full name.

Sorry, but this is something I have been annoyed about for long time, I now feel it is time to get it off my chest! What would anyone looking at this site from, say, Sao Paulo in Brazil, know what you are referring to if you just use initials? Please remember that this site is looked at internationally.

It took me a very long time to realise that PJ is a Painted Jezebel (Delias hyparete metarete) in Singapore (and it is my own avatar!), but anyone from outside the Malay Peninsular would not have any idea what you mean.

My rant for the day!

Well said.

It used to get under my skin. Then I thought. If you can't beat them.......

Still you are right.
