I am mildly amused that our fedora wearing hero has devoted so much energy to taking little pot shots at me behind his supposed subterfuge.

I should clarify that I meant that " if Amos were to change his identity. . . ." Without being ignorant of the past, I wasn't making reference to any past identities. You have to admit that past changes have left the lady with a rather enigmatic user name.

You do have a point.

Actually your self-awareness might allow you to adopt another identity quite easily. You would know what characteristic phrases and practices to avoid.

You also have the advantage of impeccable posting: your spelling and diction are without flaw; and you are consistently respectful to people and points of view. Posters "buttons" and biases are a real clue to identity.

I find it interesting that you profess to speak with a southern accent. Your posts are so well written that you could pass for a Canadian.

I don't know about that. I'm probably one of the few people on here that have gotten an Admin warning for insulting themselves. When Rhoni shows up, she'll be able to give a name to my condition, and it won't be short.
