> don't abbreviate the abbreviations

   Please make an advise the same thing to the people who maintain the
on-line CV catalog by Downes et al.  There should be no reason for such
an on-line catalog to curtail the names.  Of course, the best thing for

   Some examples of "(likely) abbreviated names" from the on-line CV catalog
by Downes et al. (please let us know which is correct and which is wrong?)
