Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

OK, here's the deal: It's pronounced "Zikes'mn", not "Zakes-man" (accent on the first syllable with a long "i" and silent "a", the second syllable with a schwa "a"). Preferred 'nick-username' is Zaikes (rhymes with 'yikes').

Anybody else out there with a username having ambiguous/obscure correct pronunciation (you know who you are), here's your big chance to set us all straight!

(And the rest of you stop snickering :-)

My user name, if you want to call it that, was my email address when I signed up at AudioGon many years ago. My address was jefflo@istar.ca, I changed ISP's several years ago but I'm stuck with this dumb user name. I wish I could create a new name and move over all my threads, feedback ec... to the new user name. I asked AudioGon if I could create a new name and move my history over, they replied it's not possible. So... I'm stuck with an old email address for a user name

SC53,

Jeff Logan (no relation to the Martin Logan speakers). Irish descent, but oddly enough I live in an area of the world where I speak more French than English. Given enough time (and good wine) I suspect I could learn Spanish easily enough.

Cheers, Jeff

Max,

I am indeed on the western tip of the island of Montreal, about 20 minutes from downtown. My office is in Ottawa but I spend the majority of my time traveling through the United States and Asia. Best, Jeff
