My name has always been DeSchane!!
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 8:36 AM
Since I first joined this forum in late 2002, I have always signed my name here as deschane! I have never used a handle, as DeSchane is my real name. I am not Al Mayo, "Parkerlegend", nor "Biggie Smalls" nor any of the other handles Mr. Mayo or anyone else may have used. How any could confuse me for Mr. Mayo is beyond me. However, life is confusing.

For a while, I had lost interest in contributing to this forum, and left. However, I have found that I missed contributing, the good friends I have here and helping people who ask for help.

It's too easy to delete registrations in a moment of frustration. What forums need are a "Put my membership on hold while I give these jerks a chance to miss me" button.

Looking forward to more healthy debate.

No, what they need is a system of recommendations for great posts like that. [swg]

I'm happy to start over. How important can the loss of my stars, post count and date of join on this forum be to the overall scheme of things, really? I determined some time away from this forum was more important than saving these things and will do it again, if the mood suits.

Mark,

Welcome back! I know we've been involved together on many discussions. Sometimes on opposite sides, sometimes on the same. I do look forward to more lively exchanges of ideas!

Hello Deshane! Welcome Back![#welcome][#welcome][#welcome][#welcome]

We know who you are![4:-)] I don't see how anyone confused you with Al as his writing style is very different from yours. He'll probably be back. I hope that it works out for him.

Looking forward to your posts, [:)][:D][8)][tup]

Cheers!

I never had you mixed up with the other fellow, mainly because your posts are well-written and well thought out, and I never remember you resorting to name-calling. Glad you're back. Missed you.

Mark,

There's NO comparison at all between you and Al. Good to have you back on board, my friend. [:)] Keep those contributions coming...to the forum, that is.

Welcome Back to the forum DeSchane.

I never had a doubt in my mind that you were any of the aformentioned people. I must say that you do post some great ideas on here and am glad to have you back.

I took a hiatus from the forum for awhile myself. When I returned, the Biggie Smalls incident happened a couple of days later. What else did I miss? [%-)]

Welcome back DeSchane. I didn't even know you left. If I have done or said anything to upset you, then I apologize. I too enjoy your posts. So again, [#welcome] back. Oh, btw, I never confused you with Al. You are a lot more civilized then him.
