In the domain of German speaking countries - isn't Tim located there?

Because of that - and because I could not follow the thoughts of Tim's
last paragraph with his conclusion;  I didn't find it convincing - I'd
think that "passing" would fit better, also in the light of historic
usage [hereabouts], even though I've often heared (and also used) the
phrase "call by" in the English CS domain in the past (and probably
still used to it).

 
If you have something to say to me please respond to my posting
directly.

I respond at the place that appears most appropriate for what
I want to say in the context I want to reply to. I'm not here
to serve your, umm, "standards" (to avoid the word "idee fixe");
and you just have to accept that[*], I fear.

I'm sure others here have no problem to go upward the thread
hierarchy one more level to find your text that I deliberately
didn't quote for the reason (still quoted above) I mentioned;
I don't think they're worth quoting, they provide no argument,
they were fuzzy. (Of course all only IMO.)
