Hi  Kirrily,

Okay, for the surnames, I just use the last word of the topic as you
already assumed. So Van Gogh, I am sorry, you are Mr Gogh for me at
the moment ....  I might resolve this temporarily like I did for
Martin Luther King, Jr.  (if last == Jr. ....)
Any plans on freebase.com side to introduce surnames etc for person?

> ... I know it's sometimes hard to link directly to the topic at hand from within an application ...

Hope I get this done - for some obscured reason the link didn't do
from within my AS3 app yesterday

Cheers

martin
