This is truly interesting. I have never been real good at chats because most people are on under nicknames (or pseudonyms as it were) and I'm not entirely comfortable with talking to people I can't see and don't know. But I use my own name--as witnessed by the fact that my daughter had no problem recognising that I was finally on mudcat! Moonchild, it's not that you have no character, you are a character! Or as I've heard myself referred to, you are a rig, or a piece of work. I take it as a compliment. Honest, outspoken, yes. These don't seem to me to be flaws. I truly can't imagine using someone elses name for any reason, I happen to like my own, and if my opinion isn't worth attaching that name to, it isn't worth stating. Now, on another track, it seems that many of you know each other off the web as well and have sings? How does one find out about these? No one came by Story Grove to announce themselves, tho' as far as I know the only Mudcats there besides us were in their record tent, hopefully being very busy.
