Avatars, online personas and suchlike

[Trek420]

I'm not the only person with my first name I'm the only one I've met. I'm not the only person with my last name but checked online and found 3 listed in the USofA (me, Mom, former SIL, bro's non published).

There's one person on this board who sometimes addresses me here by name, I kinda bristle at that.

But then I used to link my homepage to my user CP till the thought occured.

Y'all know where I am, sometimes by the minute. "I'm off for a ride, running an errand, lunch at 3 ...." there's enough info on my homepage for any of you to show up at my door. Please call first, I'll try to clean up.

There's a biography of my Grandparents with enough family history for someone to buy a car in my name.

As for my views and personality I'm pretty much the same online as off I think. This isn't "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" tapukatapuckatapuckata

But having progressive/lefty parents who survived the 50's I'm well aware that views expressed, percieved opinions what one person views as just normal and rational could be seen as extreme by another.

For example I was talking to a manager at work who is getting back into running and riding. Just the sort of conversation we'd have on a ride or at a shop "where do I find info on .... I can't seem to learn how to .... who knows where to ...." and of course I told her "TE!!!!"

Then thought, I'm more myself here than anywhere else. Not different, just more relaxed. So if you're lurking, hi Mushari
