I just like tying everything I do online together with one name. As my real name (Will Anderson) is fairly generic, I don't use that. Anyone who cares to know my real name already does, anyways, and I'm not really concerned with people who dislike/distrust me because of it. Fuck suspicious/paranoid people. For some time, though, I have actually been meaning to sign my posts here as "Will," which I do everywhere else, just because typing "Lepus Rex" at the end of a post that's already labeled as having been writted by "Lepus Rex" is kind of redundant. Yet I continue to do so, without thinking, purely out of habit. Weird.

Anyways, since I've been using this nickname for, like, twelve years or so, it's actually been kind of fun watching my mid-late-90s posts from various corners of the web disappear. And I thought this stuff was supposed "live" forever?

---Lepus Rex

---Will

Well, I figure if I use my real name on Mudcat, I'll sell more CD's and get more gigs. But I've never, ever tried to record a CD or get a gig, so I don't know if my theory works. But sometimes, people say, "Oh, so you're Joe Offer."
I get satisfaction out of that.
