Rain Man: 5 Years on GC; the Joe Pyne of BGLO Issues

I originally selected Rain Man because of my ability to remember specific names, dates, and events to the minute off the top of my head. However, IMHO the majority of my posts do not reflect that (maybe about 1/3 of them do).

OTOH, I do know when people think Rain Man here on GC, they think controversy, debate, hard-hitting and brain picking and don't give a freak. I ran into an article on the Net that talked about a guy that pretty much mirrored my demeanor here on GC. And so, in light of the fact that I have been here 5 years, I felt that it was time to change to a more personality-accurate screen name. Unfortunately, others didn't see it that way so I kept the old name.

This is a common practice for celebrities and even businesses alike. So I am rather about the posts that question my mental competence--it is a common occurence.

So why all the "contention" regarding the name change?

So why didn't you just call yourself Joe Pyne, formally known as Rain Man...

I don't care what you call yourself... Just as long as you are happy and satisfied with what you call yourself...

How others see you... Well, you don't even want to know what goes through my mind... But, hey, I ain't you... And I don't have to look at you through my "rose colored glasses"...
