When we created JoeUser.com to be database driven we used the existing Stardock.net user database.

What that meant is that everything was based by "Handles" (think CB radios). My handle on most skin sites was/is "Frogboy". That's actually more of an accident than intentional as I had intended Draginol to be my handle which is what I used here.

But when writing articles on such issues, I've always felt a bit uncomfortable using a handle because it implies I have some pseudonymn. That I'm quasi-anonymous. For most people, I still recommend handles. There's nothing particularly noble about using your own name.

But in my case, many of my articles draw on personal knowledge, experience, and expertise. So I better darn well make it clear who I am if I'm going to use myself as a "source" on some topic. So I talked Pat (T-man) into putting in this feature so that we can have our real names be what is posted rather than just our handles. I'll probably stick with this unless the search engines get confused by it or some other unforseen thing happens.

So in case you're confused - Draginol is my "handle". Brad Wardell is my real name. Not all the posts on the home page of JoeUser.com are by me. I try to feature things that will interest people who visit the site.
