Guys, most, if not all of us use a screen/user name. My nick name is GoodWatch, I adopted this in 1999 when I became member #9 on T.U.R.F. My real name is Frans (often confused with Franz, the German version of my name).
What I would like to ask you it to state your nickname followed by your real name. The reason is that I find it a bit awkward addressing another member by his nickname. It creates distance. So it would give me great pleasure if you would state your real name. If you don't want to, just don't reply.
Well my real name is Luis Alfonso III Diaz. I don't know why the III isn't after my last name, Diaz. I had nothing to do with that
I didn't want to use my watchuseek and eBay name, watches503, because that was just what I came up after giving up on clever names and being in a hurry to start my account, while living in the 503 area code some years back. I thought I would never leave that Portland (OR) area that I was in love with. I miss it sometimes but this is home, Oakdale, CA (area code 209)
In central California now, with a Washington area code (360) cell phone, so whatever, I went with my real name

Back in 1999, I was signing up to some forum and needed a user name. Giving pause to ponder a good user name, I looked at the CD cover of "Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile". Huh. Nine. That's a good one, and appropriate as I has been researching my 1st handgun purchase at the time and bought a 9mm. From then on out, I attempt to use nine, or nine204 (with area code) as a user name. So far so good.
My real name is Rodger.
Though some call me Jon.
Some call me RJ, a few even call me "arge", which of course is a bastardized version of RJ.
Most call me by my nick name "Rod" . My wife hates that nick name, citing it makes me sound like a 1970's porn star that delivers more than pizza. But I always say there are worse things to be called.
