@ehBeth,
Spendi is one of the few I've known online or otherwise that I think are brightly capable of carrying on a persona, so I considered that for a while. Then I gave up. I picked not a persona.
I still like him, but I put him to bed from time to time, not in a lascivious way, but with a scrolling blanky or once in a while an actual ignore.
(Waves to Spendius)
