I too do not use an honorific before my name, which has led to some
interesting problems.  Since my name is Dana, any correspondence that
I receive from someone (or an organization) who has never met me
feels compelled to put "Ms." in front of my name.  (I'm a male)

My roommates certainly get a big kick out of it!

Just thought someone might be interested.  (I'm suprised that Lee Gold
didn't mention a similiar problem, unless of course she signs as
Lee Ann Gold.)
