Reply:Unless you are Facebook who thinks everyone should use their real name.  Some of us prefer to use our pseudonym even in real life.  More people know me by Soutthpaw than my real name.   So real is relative.  It's my real as far as I'm concerned.   Legal name is different of course.

Reply:well how did you get the name.  I think of a lefty boxer when I see the name
Reply:a nick name i understand
Reply:I hooked up with the forum by using Facebook, so i really had no choice in the matter, would I rather everyone not know my first and last name? sure, but everyone here seems like a good person so I dont mind as much, but sites like Reddit, or other forums I definitely use a psuedonymMiller Spoolmate 200 w/t S-52 WirefeederMM 211'09 Miller Trailblazer 302
Reply:Half the people on here are either Mike, Dave, or Joe. It would be really confusing if they all used their real names. Plus, there is some safety in anonymity.  Keep in mind that there are a LOT of people that read this forum that are not members. You never know who is stalking you... even if you are old, fat, and ugly. GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Reply:i have googled my name nothing comes up but sounds like good advice thanks, john

Reply:One of the guys at the mill yesterday at about 7:30 PM getting a little loopy from too long a day, and hearing too many times the question: "when will you be finished?" told of the newest huffing craze. You defecate in a Mason jar, close it up for three weeks, then sniff it like it was glue. Steve, wanna try it out and report back how it went?The cashier in Staples has to have my driver's license number when I buy canned air to blow out smoke alarms. It seems kids are huffing it. IT'S AIR!

Reply:I have that problem I am 69 years old and didn't know it until a very few years ago. Wen I was in school they didn't know what it was. I could look at a book and the words wouldn't connect. Some how I became a tool maker some how so bare with us guys. I couldn't talk about this until lately.
