You do see the irony in your statement, yes?

Amen - I've also been amused with this thread. It has occured to me
that perhaps the people continuing it on and on and on and on and...
(you get the idea) are bored with their current project and need a
diversion.
Another thought that has occured to me: "Is there a moderator here
anymore?

>From Al Geist:
I've been following this thread and find it humorous how much effort is
being placed in trying to figure out what we should call ourselves in
this
ever changing world. Personally, I just want to be called "Al," and make
sure the name on the check is spelled correctly and the beer in the
icebox
is cold.
