I have always referred to native Americans as Native Americans, until I
heard, quite recently that they prefer "American Indians". Also, Mr. E,
I did not give you permission to call me Ruby. I sign myself, as you may
have noticed Ruby Rohrlich, and by someone with your approach, I
profer to be called Dr. Rohrlich or Professor Rohrlich. Why do you hide
your first name, and call yourself Mr. E.? Don't bother to answer; I'm
not really interested, and I would prefer that you not communicate with me
further, since I will not again respond. Ruby Rohrlich
