[8)] <br /> <br />And if you don't use some form of your real name as your handle, then your username becomes somewhat of a personal advertisement, and in the online world where what we first see of you is the text you use to identify yourself, then yes, your user name matters. <br /> <br />I wouldn't get all wrapped around the axle about your user name, but your name choice is in poor taste and it would be nice to see you advertise something a bit less irreverant. <br /> <br />On another list, there's a guy who calls himself "Mr. Railroad" as if he is *the* source of all knowledge in the hobby. Similar issue. Back it off a notch and you'll be fine. [swg] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />If you all are serious looking at other peoples user names and reading that much into it, you all need to get a life. No insult to you personally for saying that, but I belong to many forums and people take anothers user name for face value, it's just a freakin user name. Something nifty or catchy they want to be known by, their not advertising anything...oh brother. I don't see anything wrong with "Mr. Railroad", that's your personal perception of what his username could imply, but that does not make it inappropriate by any means. You people seem to, too easlily get offending over nothing and pass judgement on people too easily. <br /> <br />I could raise a fuss over everyones username out here and that it offends me in one way or another, does that give me the right to make you have to change it??? If I change my username to something else and someone gets offended by it, am I going to have to change it yet again??? Where does it end?? People need to grow up.
