Not to worry.  Just as soon as you stop talking about me, I'll
disappear.  If you want to refer to someone by their last name, it is
customary to use the appropriate honorific, the last name by itself
being taken as rude.  In my case, the appropriate honorific would be
Dr.  So address me or refer to me as Robert or Dr. Myers, not Myers or
Mr. Myers.  That people on this list would talk about manners almost
makes my heart stop.

If you don't know how to use the reflexive properly ("someone like
myself" is incorrect usage in multiple ways), avoid it.  Otherwise,
you might sound like Marilyn Monroe referring to "a nice girl like I,"
which is what you do sound like.

Finally, if you don't want to read what I say, don't read it.  Just
stop talking about it.

Robert Myers.
