Buster is a pseudonym. Is this a schock to anyone?

I use a pseudonym primarily because I post from work and don't want my name on a BBS during work hours.

I don't believe there is any board policy against using pseudonyms as many here obviously do when they wish privacy for some reason as I do.

I do not intentionally use a pseudonym as cover to insult people. I may be a little more insulting under a pseudonym than if I used my real name, but I think that is a common effect of the net.

Barry has very effectively used his standard diversion tactic to draw attention away from the fact that he was way off base in denying connections between MECA and the Mars Society.

I do not mind if the reasonable majority of people on this board know who I am. I am willing to send an E-mail to any of the routine posters who want to know who I am or berate me privately for being overly insulting besides EP or BD if they post their E-mail address requesting the information using an IP address consistent with past posts. I do not want BD or EP to have my E-mail address. I am also willing to provide my E-mail address to the moderators if anyone would rather contact me through them (and they are willing) rather than posting their E-mail address. I hope any I contact respect my desire to post anonymously from work, but I'm willing to risk that you don't because there is no big conspiracy to hide. I already told Cowing who I am after his post. He responded with his usual grace. ;-)

It's rather funny to see how people think my posts match different people.

see ya
