On another topic, is it bad that I still have NO FRIENDS on my "Friends" List after being here nearly 4 months?

Maybe it's my breath? My deodorant?

My...aftershave?

I have been here for a year and i have 2 friends, I feel your pain brother but ask me if i give a rats ass!!

Reminds me of,"her name was McGill, but she called herself Lil and everyone knew her as Nancy." I identify with you Utopian, remember, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not really after you.

Sort of like the guy who told me I had a great face for radio...

Maybe it depends on the rat? =8-0

I keep telling myself: This ain't facebook (for which I'm grateful!)

For the record: my first name is Lawson, I use my whole name as a login on any public thing I'm part of so I won't forget my login (Ha!).

I guess I should think of something more creative. The Poster Who Might Be Ron has a point about anonymity and not having everything just out there for anyone to cruise.

Jeff works for me. Eggenberger is just too long to be typing all the time.

So Ron/Wendy/Utopian or whoever you are today, I would like to say hello and remind you to take your meds.

Leave poor Wendy alone, she evidently is conflicted enough. Besides, he could probably give you a real-life back breaker....WWF style.


Seriously though, I will probably think "Wendy" and snicker a little inside the next time I see Utopian (hopefully at the next get together).

Ron, you are one hell of a unique guy. These forums are great.

You're not that famous, are you Utopian?

I sometimes put my name, Aaron, in the sig line; a little familiarity is a good thing (up to a point on the net, unfortunately). I too have seen guys on other forums strut around belittling those who "aren't man enough" to use their real names. I suspect that's the same guy who likes to start and keep little pointless internet spats going. Probably also the same blustery back-slapping boor who impugnes the manhood of guys who don't equate their masculinity with watching other men bash each other senseless, generally watching football on tv. Or the guy with the magnum pickup who thinks this gives him uber-man status, and drives accordingly.

Okay, I'm done now. Aaron

We will have to sit at the table across from Ron? /Wendy? /Utopian? and snicker together! Diversity is a good thing, but who would have guessed that you could get so much from one person.

Rons the BOMB!.......or Wendy... or is it.....???
