Viola!, as them Frogs say- I was in!
And in retrospect, I wish all along I had merely used my proper name like Fran Porreto and Jeff Head do, and let the chips fall where they may- the "anonymity" of the internet is illusory, anyway.
LOL!! Yeah -- but sometimes it's nice to shorten up said names just for ease! LOL
