You got me. I think it's stuffy and idiotic. I was being polite.

I've never had a kid use my first name and don't expect to. I wouldn't care if they did, though.

I prefer they respect the shirt by acting the right way on the court. This stuff is just window dressing.

Guess I work with a lot of idiotic and stuffy people...who spend 6 out of every 24 months in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or who were raised by stuffy and idiotic parents and grand-parents.

FWIW, I know idiotic and stuffy people who spend 6 months out of 24 in the Middle East and SW Asia. I do thank them for their service.

I also know sensible people who don't spend any time in the service.

Oh -- put me on the side of "first name" (I don't think a game is the same as a social occasion, so different etiquette rules can apply), but it doesn't bother me either way.
