Hi all! Sorry for the delayed reply. I had some back-straining renovating to do and was rewarded with some connectivity issues on top...

For aesthetic reasons I'd also go with transliterated first. I'd like to point out that we already have nicknames in parentheses for a few entries. BTW, I'd like to see more people's nicks there, so one could recognize guys on IRC. So how about this format then: "Name Surname (Nickname) - squiggledisquig" Regards, Humdinger --=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=-=--=- Deutsche Haiku News - Haiku Gazette http://haiku-gazette.blogspot.com
