Hey, it's no big deal to me on the website, but on the registered attendies list, my name is spelled, Michael O'donnell...but thats not right, the D in O'Donnell should be capitalized, and the guy above me, John O'Connell...I guarantee you his should be capitalized as well. I don't care about it on the website, but if I have to walk around with a nametag for a week that has my name spelled wrong like that, I won't be happy at all...any chance you guys at ISSCA ould fix it? I'd have e-mailed, but it's not just my name, it's the guy above me too. I know a lot of times apostrophies mess up automated computer stuff though, so I figured it's worth pointing out. Thanks.

NOTE TO MIKE:

UNCLENCH THE BUTT CHEEKS MAN!

Hahahaha!

Seriously though, I got NUTS when people don't spell my name right. Capital D, little e, Capital B mother****er!

I go out of my way to learn how to spell (and pronounce) peoples names correctly. It's a sign of respect. Especially if you take the time to spell a difficult name correctly, people tend to appreciate that and remember that. Which, in sales, is a good thing.

Ok, peace out, have a nice day Mikheal O'Donahole.

Lol...Billy DeBlowsGuyzio...I hope the nametags are right. I hadn't even thought to look for your name on the attendies list...but they got your right the first time, it's the dam apostrophe (did I spell that right? I meant the ' thingy).

I'm sure there's a bunch of other ways to spell my name Joe...be as creative as you want to

Mike,

Thank for pointing this out, I checked to see why and it turns out the program we use defaults to small letters and won't let us change it. I will find a solution so you (and others) don't have to wear the wrong name.

Rick, if you're still listening....

...it's Wood, not Woods. Would hate to see it roll on to anything printed for/at Pocono. Wasn't going to say anything but Mike opened the door.

Mountain MadneSS Attendee List (updated periodically (well, we're doing our best)):

I'd like to see our "handles" from the forums printed on the tags, too, if the attendee wishes.
