D. to everyone I have known since I first began writing professionally, about 35 years ago. My wife calls me B. D. My children tell people my name is B. D. Colen. My dogs call me B. D. My cat calls me B. D. I use B. D. on my bank accounts, my credit cards, everything I write for publication. In other words, like numerous people - most of them, admittedly, from the South - which I am not - I use my initials as a first name. I do not use B. D. to hide my identity, unlike people such as Arthur W. Gottschalk, who hides between ArthurWG, and was only identified by a LUG member as Arthur W. Gottschalk in the past 24 hours.

I know one case in which a person has participated in the LUG under at least 5 names, and I don't think that any of those is actually his real name. Anybody know what "B.D." stands for? (Anybody care? I don't). - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
