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

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/t...-still-online/

Rich

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

Peace, mike

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
