I refuse to divulge my real name to such a collection of miscreants and ne'er-do-wells.

[air-cool-me]

Hey bro, I'm Brock Landers but I spread my butt cheeks for playgirl magazine under the name Mike Honcho. Just want you to know that.

I totally aggree with our fluffer friend,, we should start a movement that unless the poster signs with his/her name and location we won't help him/her.. thsi applies more to the technical stuff but should apply to everything.
Todd

How do we know Todd's your real name? It sounds phoney to me...after all, Todd's are a dime a dozen on this board. Please try to be a little original.

Regards,

Todd

I think it would be very nice within in the Pelican family to be able to address our long distance friends on a first name basis. Many of our threads are very sensitive, emotional and heart aching. Addressing the poster with his/her first name gives the communication a more personal and sincere touch.

Just my 3 Swedish Crowns..thanks for listening.


Edit: Please note, I am not wishing for the personal touch only because I am a sensitive, feminine fluffer/pediatrician.

Easy for you to suggest; you're safely on the other side of the pond.

Those of us in the U.S. have to be concerned that some "nut job with a gun" might read what we post here, dislike what we say, and might start trying to attack us by committing acts of violence against those who might be us.

Imagine if I said my name was "John." People can see that my location is Summerville, SC. Some "nut job with a gun" (and you know we have plenty of those here -- both guns and "nut jobs") might start killing all the "Johns" in Summerville in an attempt to kill me!

One just can't be "too careful."

Sincerely,

John Smith
