Dusty - No one To Run With merged threadfest
« on: July 20, 2019, 03:36:22 PM »
I know some of the screen-name/real-name associations, but not "Jimmy".   Page?  Hoffa? Crack Corn?  It's only been 10 minutes ...

Many of us don't use our true name.
It doesn't sound good, so why not just leave it alone.
If you did know him, you wouldn't need to be asking.

I don't know, sure hope not. It is a confusing thread. I always thought Dusty was Dusty

"Just hush up and don't ask" is never a very satisfying suggestion.  Especially when the situation has been posted on list like this with thousands of readers all over the world.

As far as using one's true name, I try to not follow the evil examples of history.

'I have not seen these tokens before,' said Aragorn. 'What do they mean?' 'S is for Sauron,' said Gimli. 'That is easy to read.' 'Nay!' said Legolas. 'Sauron does not use the Elf-runes.' 'Neither does he use his right name, nor permit it to be spelt or spoken,' said Aragorn.

That's why I use my real name, so someone won't mistakenly think that I'm a malevolent evil spirit bent on world conquest.  Speaking of which, I see that FaceBook is mentioned in the OP, which is always a sign of some sort of trouble coming.

Thanks for building and maintaining this wonderful community of motorcycle enthusiasts.  For the last few years, It's been a refuge from the constant barrage of social media crap found in other places.
