Are you PIERRE DAOUST ?
Well, for the past 48 years, lots of folks addressed me with that name, some just Pierre, some just Daoust, some Pete, some Peter, some Pierrot, and some Dad.... :/
By responding to the subordinate title of MISTER, and/or responding to the word "YOU," you have in fact gave clear indication you are there in GENERAL APPEARANCE, therefore granting jurisdiction to the court, therefore you acted as, and became surety.
If one does not clarify the capacity one is acting on, you are presumed to be there in general appearance. Any gesture towards the court, like answering a question, will always help presume that you are there in general appearance.

By the way, is it a good idea if I reserve ALL rights in here ?
