Yeah, what's the "noglider" thing about, anyway? I'd explain mine, but then I'd have to get into the other 36 projects... |

I've been working in the internet business for a pretty long time now. In the early days of online, people used to call NYC, Silicon Alley. Part of being online provides a certain amount of anonymity which I like which is why I didn't use my birth name. It also sorta tickles my funnybone a bit when people assume I'm a girl. I guess people think Alley is short for Allison? |

It's a nickname that only one person in this world uses - so I figured I'd keep my anonymity that way, but now everyone thinks my name is Lillian (Lill). I thought about changing it, but I think I've posted too much to change it now... |

"Anyway it fits my personality better then 'Opinionated Moron'" There's that self-honesty again Hoops (I like basketball too particularly when I watch my son and his friends play). OK I'll see your honesty and raise you one. I only use my first name because I assume everyone knows who I am. How's that for hubris. If you check over on Soapbox at least almost everyone wants me banned now.

When I signed on I never thought that I would be posting...if I could change it now I might be Laura Ingals Wilder (loved her books when I was a child) or the Big Chick (a friend's son still calls me this because I am so much taller than his Mom) ...but as LilLB says, I have posted too much to change it now... |

I was making reference to the many grammatical and typographical errors in on-line postings (including mine own). It is a subtle reminder to myself to try to take a minute and review what I write before I click "Post". Unfortunately, there is no book with tips on how to avoid the logical errors in my posts--for that, I rely on Straw, cjc, BobK, Aquaman, and myriad others to show me the errors of my ways. |

wendy - come on now, you could have done better then that. I expected much better jokes to come from that statement. and I think you are pretty tame by board standards, no matter whether I agree or disagree with your points. |

Jerky Boys, from their frequent spots on Howard Stern. I cringed though when someone copped another one of their alter egos for some naughty posting. |

My username, Shh, is just my initials, but I like that it says "Shh!" which often needs to be said! Then last summer I believe, there was a thread about who on MOL do you like (by their posts) and after a weak start, suddenly Jay and his desk and Hank were fighting over me. Pippi then said something like "huh, a Virtual It Girl, who'd a thunk it." So after being Shh for a few years I'm now enjoying my time as Virtual It Girl. Kinda has a nice ring, thanks Pip! |
