Hello everyone,
I just changed my forum name and I wanted to reintroduce myself .

As my tagline suggests, my old forum name was Liza. However, "Liza" is not actually my first name. I chose it because I didn't want want to use my real first name on a forum... Liza a diminutive of my middle name (Elizabeth) and my mom used to call me "Liza-bug" when I was little.

I decided to change it because every single time I exchange PMs with someone, I feel compelled to tell them this little story to explain why my forum name is a given name, but different than my actual first name. For some reason, calling yourself "Jen" when your name is "Mary" seems a whole lot stranger (and almost deceptive) than calling yourself "Bikelover45" when your name is "Mary."

Or maybe it's just my weird sensibility... but in any case, now I won't feel like I need to explain myself every time I send a PM .

Cheers,
VeloVT
