If so, then I am in agreement (but I'm not an expert so I'd be willing to listen to other arguments-- I did not get John Cowan's reasoning for retaining just the first and third of these three fields.) I think it's better to list the different ways the names are spelled as it makes the description more easily recognized. (It would help me to see a particular spelling I was used to.)</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
