         While I have tried to resist posting on this subject I'd just like=
=20
to say I wouldn't want to see you leave. I'd prefer to see a post from you=
=20
at least stating the reason for not using your real name though. I can't=20
envision what harm a stated reason would cause. Are you in the witness=20
protection program or something? The reason I'd like to see a name is the=20
same reason I don't mind seeing OT posts. I view this list as a group of=20
personalities with a  common interest. Sometimes we clash sometimes we=20
agree. There are things in this world that affect us all and since we have=
=20
a common interest we can share our views from the point of view of a common=
=20
bond. That makes it a little more personal, thus the desire to see one's=20
name attached. I respect your "right" to not use your name. I just wish I=20
knew the "reason" for it.

P.S. I'm sorry that you are getting so much bad "press" for this when you=20
didn't start it. I wish the same as above from the other individual who=20
chooses to remain un-named.
