Hey Folks.
I don't know about you but I always like to address someone by a name: Bill, Ronnie, Randy, etc. Some of you, that's easy; some I need to make an extra click and there it is. Others...?
I can appreciate that privacy is a big deal nowadays but how about putting at least a first name in your 'home'? That way, anal retentive people like me can at least use something a little more personal than XXX57whatever.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents.<br /><br />Regards.

Nice job Brian. 
See Folks, not only does Brian put his name in his post but when you click on his name above the avatar, there it is again in his 'home'.
Check's in the mail Brian...

See Sarge, good example. I've 'known' you for 3 years and didn't know your name was Kevin. Probably because it wasn't in your CT 'home' page. You don't need to put your whole name, just the first.
Big hug. 
Bob and Jim: I was only guessing about you Guys.
Like your style, Glen.

"Name behind the avatar" is called "The Viking", offered as an option on the 1929, 1930, and 1931 Chevrolet. Installed cost was $3.20
"Screen-name" is old gto, which is also the tag name of my 1966 goat. (Important note, old refers to the car, not the user. Although the user may also be considered old, even older than the car, the user prefers to consider the car old, not himself.)
"Name behind the names" is Jim
The only thing I`m sure of, is that I`m not sure of anything.

Joey Roberts is the name, not "Joseph", but i'm getting used to being called "Joe". I bet most of you already knew that, if you didn't, where the hell have you been??

Wagonmaster- After two things, my lifelong love of station wagons...AND. My job for the last nearly 30 years has been in management of those that maintain buses, both commercial and most recently school buses....Sometimes called "wagons" ....so...Wagonmaster it is and has been for several years. Since I sign everything "Joe" I didn't figure my name was a great mystery.

Ah, yes, I suppose by now, everyone knows my name is Dennis. The handle "DeeGee" I would guess is a mystery to most. The answer is very simple; I was named after my uncle, so we both had the same first and last names. My middle initial is "G.", so I was known to most of the family as D.G., or "DeeGee" to avoid the confusion as to just which Dennis was being addressed.

This may come as a shock to you, but my name is Randy, most however refer to me as 'Randy', and others just call me 'Randy'. It's actually short for Randall, but the only time I'm called that is by people that don't really know me, my parents when they were mad about me putting Kool Aid in the water dish for the dog and one of my best friends has called me that for 35 years. I even use Randy on all my bank accounts and business papers.
