Understood. So I will set the record straight for all to bare.

My real name is Tom Sawyer. As you can imagine, combined with other character 
traits of mine, the name tends to take on a life of its own. So instead, I 
used my email name Transami, and did so for some time. As many of you will 
remember.

Then very bad things happened to me, that are not really suitable to open 
disscusion. (But so that there is no misconcption, I will embaressingly admit 
it is because my mind is "too loud" and my heart "too sensitive")  So I had 
to go away for awhile. Only recently have I ventured back into parts of the 
real world. So when I returned here I used a psuedo name, T. Onoma, in an 
irrational attempt to be not so me. If that makes any sense. But obviously 
there seems to be no changing facts. "I post, therefore I am". Well, not 
really, I post a lot b/c I have no life, friends, job, etc. So there you go. 
Now you know. I am vulnerable.

I will try. Thank you.
