I do that too. In the past 16 years the Victorville Ca Daily Press has used 130 of mine. Occasionally I’ve wished I could tag one anonymously but they won’t do it

...and my letters to the editor are very much like my posts on the Internet (minus a few words that might be objectionable.)
Yea the Internet is more tolerant

I see no reason for not using my real name...and I think the Internet forums would be improved if everyone did.
I agree with you but the idea positively horrifies my No. 2 Son

@izzythepush,
Actually a very funny remark.

This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How it ever got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

@Frank Apisa,
A bit like the scene in Spartacus.

Thanks for getting the joke, and not getting angry like some I could mention.

Meantime, the site owner here uses his real name.

Moving along to remark about all the new members with very, uh, white american names, there is much positing about what is going on with that.
BBB thinks it's a group of (jerks, my word).
Someone said they may be chinese folks learning about using the internet (no link) and I think someone else said they may be chinese folks trying to avoid their governments eye.
Tsarstepan came up with a whole new idea, just today, and made a thread about it.

What I like and doesn't happen so much anymore, is chinese people who converse with us.

That's not my dog.

I did. My prior thread relating to this new batch of members is an academic exercise on artificial intelligences and Turing testing on online forums.
