We consider a period to be "crud" and strip off trailing crud. I think we should probably change that, since in some places people write their family name first, and so a name like =E2=80=9Ccarlson brian m.=E2=80=9D might be a thing people might want to wr= ite, in addition to this particular case. In any event, it's not very polite to "correct" people's names for them. I myself have certainly run into that often enough. --=20 brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA --G+W8Thq4CVNvzsEa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.3.1 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCYSJuSwAKCRB8DEliiIei gS3bAP4prp3RK5GI7h4H6XcbHHFj8VjDkUuofBlIJnxsR3MkmQEAh07AZvxNnftM 4CCcZgVFMFLW7zyr2LGDJ7IaGNpU7A0= =pp5R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G+W8Thq4CVNvzsEa--
