Now I am going to veer off course a bit here... And, it's going to seem like I am picking on J., but I am just using him as an example of something I have always wondered about. You can call it a generational thing if you like.

Remember, I am not REALLY picking on the kakabox.
Why is it most people don't use at least their first names on a list like this? You can have whatever damn user name you want, for whatever damn reason. But do I feel comfortable addressing J. as "Mr. kakabox"? Hell no!
I know the kakabox and what his real name is. I also have the highest regards for this very talented and generous man. But I don't feel comfortable calling him by his name if he doesn't us it on this list himself.
I always sign with my name David, but my user is a very boring firstgencrx. I have also noticed most of the older members, not all, but most use their names as well. Maybe it IS a generational thing.
Do some of you younglings really believe you are somehow hidden by not using your real names? Are you afraid to let anyone know who you are? Is it a false privacy thing?
Maybe I am too old school, but I like addressing people by name. If I f*#k up and piss someone off, I feel they have a right to at least know who I am. I have always found confrontation to be a good thing. Some of my closest/best friends are people who have really pissed me off!
This is the most awesome and friendly lists I have ever been a member. I just don't get why people don't use their real names.
END RANT!
I feel better now.
