My pleasure! Your earlier email did come through; sometimes there are
short delays, it's not a big deal.

As to a mode of address, most people use first names around here, so
"Chris" is common. But when lots of Chrises get to talking, that can
get ambiguous, so I might be referred to as ChrisA, or as Rosuav (my
email address). But Mr Angelico is fine, if a little formal :)
