Rudder is the family name. My parents named me Hard Right, but that caused so many problems growing up I just go now by my last name.
Like somebody else here I lost my first screen name 'YAFer since 1962', when my computer crashed, and I forgot my password (didn't realize that JimRob would let me get it back). My current name causes a lot of fuss with some folks, and is a long story, so I just say 'see my FR Home Page', when somebody questions it.
My pirate name is Mad Sam Flint, somehow I am not surprised (and I guess there are a lot of folks who won't be either).
