OK, first my real name is here and ... this is the ONLY place on the internet it is listed. It took a bit of time for me to come to terms with posting my real name, but it was the nature of the members here that made the decision easy.
I've been online in one form or another since the 80's .. that was BEFORE the internet for you kids. The first rule everyone learned back then was .. DON'T POST YOUR REAL NAME! I got involved in many things that made this a no-brainer, but it just was sensible for many reasons. It was burned into my online makeup to use an online name. Foxer is actually my main character of over 10 years in Everquest.
The advent of social networks has changed everything ... all kids think giving out their personal information to the world is cool. Now, with so many "known" identities available, I feel ok with my real name here!
