<HTML>Ray,
Pardon me, he did say he was a military man.
Then, in that case, he should address Captain Duffy by his rank, but never - not even if he was senior to him ( which I very much doubt ) by his surname. It would be considered to be inappropriate to ever address a senior by surname -
- and chargeable for a junior rank / rating to do it.
Watch out Ray. You\'re slipping......
Aye,
