I cleverly shortened Bill Wallace to BILLW. I did this before I realized that many folks liked to use cool screen names, whatever. Anyway I have no fear of internet stalkers and I have never even gotten any spam that could be traced to posting on corfid.

I couldn't use just Bill 'cause that was already claimed by "Bill". But you'll notice many of the old-timers here (look at member #) just use their names like Char, Val, Cathy, johnfowles, etc.

And some old-timers have high numbers because they used to post "unregistered" but after a recent software upgrade that feature was disallowed so they had to come out of the closet, so to speak.

And some folks have more than one memeber ID but we all know who's who most times, LOL.

Thanks for asking,

Bill
