Slighlty O/T -- the importance of using real names on this board

[Rich Klein]

The Washington Post today had an fascinating article about Robin Williams' daughter and the abuse she took on Twitter.

Note that Twitter has not yet made people use their real names

I do not post things that I do not put my name with. My name is almost always my login on message boards.

[Peter_Spaeth]

@RichKlein -- agreed. :D

Yup

Be it stupid or brilliant...right, wrong, or just an opinion...obnoxious or inspiring...I always have my full name in every post.

If one doesn't feel strongly enough to own their words, perhaps they should remain silent.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Eric

PS: if anyone on here is the first member to correctly guess my riddle above........$250 to you! I'm a man of my word but names don't entirely impress me much. Actions, intentions, and follow through sure do though.

PS 2: 18 words in riddle including my salutation. Knock yourself out! I'll post the answer to my riddle a little past midnight (Eastern). $250 money order in the mail Monday if someone gets all 18 words EXACTLY correct and by correct I mean by what I have written down on my notepad! No breaking into my house please!

PS 3: I have the letter spaced in my text box but when I publish, it puts all the lines together so sorry but:
1st word: 3 letters, 2nd: 1 letter, 3rd: 4 letters, 4th: 3 letters, 5th: 2 letters, 6th: 4 letters and the first 2 letters are FU, 7th: 4 letters, 8th: 3 letters, 9th: 6 letters, 10th: 5 letters, 11th: 3 letters, 12th: 2 letters, 13th: 3 letters, 14th: 7 letters, 15th: 3 letters, 16th: 4 letters, 17th: 6 letters, 18th: 5 letters

There once was a girl named Cindy.........oh wait.....I'll hold on that one!:p

[vthobby]

Peter: here you go:

In the first word........the second letter is an E. That was free!:rolleyes:

peace, mike

[vthobby]

:rolleyes: What are you smoking?

Nothing right now actually but this is what you will be smoking if you solve my little riddle. I've given up 4 words so far and a vowel and a valid offer of $250 to the correct winner. Don't worry, I won't change it if someone wins.

Peace, mike:cool:

PS another hint.....the riddle relates to the subject of Rich Klein's original post "Slighlty O/T -- the importance of using real names on this board". good luck, mike

PS Last clue for Saturday night......this "riddle" is not a rhyme, its just a unique statement by me as to the original issue of using real names etc...., peace, mike

[Peter_Spaeth]

Hey, I won't use my full name ....

[Rollingstone206]

...

[vthobby]

sorry, I posted my last hint earlier but you both are on the right track, one of you might be right or both might be wrong......

How was that for sitting on the proverbial fence!@:p

mike

PS Gotta work early Sunday!!! UGH!!!!! So, hitting the hay. I'll check back in Sunday night after work and post the "answer" on or after midnite (Eastern) and the name of the "winner" if there is one. Thanks, g-nite, mike

Rob,

I think you shortchanged him. With the current exchange in Canada, your +1 is equal to +1.09.

PS I have sleep issues.:rolleyes: Not gonna be happy at work tomorrow!
