Don't feel too bad - I have it, but have never got an answer or return call! Though she did congratulate me on sounding sober when I called her on SWGB's phone and left a message for her to join us at the bar.
Real names do feel weird. Even my real nickname has morphed by my true sowal friends...as does many sowal board names among All Y'all.........funny, my real name has taken on many forms through my life and I love all of it.
Strange that this (cyber names) really has such an effect on someone? Sometimes it's a term of endearment........like the Pitchman!
