Well, why is it that I have been here since 1998 and have had the same screen name the entire time? How come you have multiple screen names? Why was this necessary?

Interesting and quite a strong choice of words. Perhaps you are more stationary than I am. ... and maybe because I have different widely geographical locations I post from than you because I am located at varying posts for extended periods. And perhaps, just maybe, because I deemed there was that requirement for myself.

I know I'm guilty for not running it past you before I decided to do it though. But I assure you, its not more that two. I hope I've justified my existance to you sufficiently in this reply.
Normally, I'd doff my hat with a flourish and kiss your proffered hand, but it appears you've presented studded brass knuckles, with your choice of words and they aren't very appealing. :)Perhaps I've misinterpretted.

You certainly don't need my permission. I just was curious, since no matter what changes in format, or where I have been logging on from, I always have had my same screen name.

I wondered what conditions required a new screen name. That is all. Don't be so paranoid. LOL!

I still want to empahasize my objections to sneakypete's comment. I think it is out of bounds.
