There are so many people posting on Big Pumpkins that use a "handle" that really doesn't tell who they are that I am wondering if there is a master list somewhere I can go to and find out who I am talking to or arguing with without having to ask? If that isn't so then I think it would be nice if somehow people would identify themselves other than with a handle, maybe at least once and maybe once on each thread??? Or do people like being anonymous or whatever? Not everyone knows who, as an example, Iceman, Kilr, Copper, The Borer etc etc are.

I find this discussion interesting, Dr. Meisner you are
are one of the folks who started this Alias BS. I have a lot of respect for you, but in this case you are part of the problem. It took me one year to figure out who Marv Meisner and Marv Hicks (Both members of the PGPGA).

I hope that Big Pumpkins and the others require members to use the names their Mothers and fathers gave them, otherwise what the heck are they hiding behind.

If someone is not willing to use their god given names, why should anyone want to believe anything they have to say.

Bob Attaway gave my name away. Thanks Bob. Larry Checkon sent me a list of everyone's names. He said he got it from the FBI or maybe it was the IRS. There always is a bit of a problem over here in PA. Marvin Hicks and I keep getting confused with one another. I usually call myself Marv in Altoona, PA. Hicks is Marvin. Anyway I guess I'll have to be a bit more careful about what I say now that I am exposed.

I think you can tell from mine, who I am...

It would be nice if we could use avatars (little
pictures by our name) IFF (if and only if) these
were real, actual pictures and not something else.
It would be nice to see who we're talking to,
especially for those of us who rarely get to interact
with other growers.

I enjoy chugging beer at a full gallup,on horseback,while
trying to chase the deer out of my garden,all the while vowing:"I will get those damm deer the next time!"
It just kills me to have those damm deer look at me as if to say "just give up,you'll never catch me",and then to rub it in,they will turn their back(or butts)to me,twitch their tails,and act like I am no threat at all.
I THINK ALL DEER ARE SMART-ASS'ED JERKS,(Really).

I took the name lubadub because when I tried to get lubdub on AOL. someone had already taken it. I thought of rub-a-dub-dub but knew it was too long. So, I took lubadub. If you wonder what lubdub is, it is the sound your heart makes every time it beats. It was something I thought about a lot as I am a retired cardiologist and listened to many hearts every day. I have often thought of taking on another name but after having this one so long I doubt I ever will.
