Anyway, fatlazyless has been my name since 1997, and yes it's a bit of a dopey dumb name and it encourages me to say stuff likely I'd not say if my real name were attached.
Probably, I should change it from fatlazyless to just fll so it will blend better.
best, fll

Not picking on you FLL, but I think that is part of the "problem" in internet communities. People say things that they would likely not say in face to face conversation. Some people can be downright rude. Some people can be very sarcastic. Some people are in fact genuine. But the fact remains that people are more brave behind a keyboard, myself included.
My first name is in my screen name here. I am not saying that to advocate that everyone sign their posts. I would however advocate that people post things that they would say face to face. I know that may be a pipe dream, but that is how I feel. As my father always told me, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
My snowmobile club
www.bowpioneers.org (shameless plug
) has a message board/forum. Users are required to use their full name. We are still in our first year of the message board, but it has been real tame. But then again, we don't have any speed limit stuff to argue about.
