I for one am confused by the names people on this site pick to speak to the world. If I could get a do over I would drop the 49 and add my last name. After all we are also trying to market ourselves right? If it was my site I would change the program so you have to add your real name its so hard to remember all these pen names. I say we take a vote and see if we can get Kyle to change it. What do you think? Like i said I would use my full name if I knew a few months ago what I know now. Alan49 is me in a way becuse thats how all of you know me but I would reather you knew me as Alan Cross. My rant for the day!
