I'm sorry not to agree with you there Praise, but I fun all this stuff actually quite humorous! I know folks are just being funny...Mudcatters are good folks (except anonymous flamers) and I am glad to have them as friends. To take the time even to poke fun at my lack of a love life of any sort, let's me know they're there for me. At least I'm getting lots of attention, and several 'Catters are trying to fix me up with their daughters! **BOG**

As for web personae, I can assure you that my web personae is truly who I am. I have studied hard throughout my life and know lots of things others wouldn't bother to learn...but I don't express my self very well verbally. Writing, like I'm doing now, is the most perfect way of expressing myself. I get to think about what I want to say, and don't sound like a mumbling fool. It's true that in real life I am very shy, nervous, and scared of people. I will go out of my way NOT to talk on a telephone, or ask someone for help....I even start sweating and get nervous when I do something as simple as checking out a library book, or buying stamps. If you met me in real life, you would probably never guess that I was the same person. This is definately part of why I'm such a "lonely boy"....But let me tell you, that if I know you very well, I never shut up! As many here can attest to!
