I know all known technical details surrounding the mdot. Further I know that there are lots of less experienced or less professional people fall into the trap of not using mdot when they should. How does this make me any less experienced than anybody using mdot ??

Walter,
The only place I use the mdot convention is in the command window because Intellisense kicks in.
The
only reason for naming conventions is to make the code more readable.
