Whoah!

That is the first time, Doug, that you have lumped me in the list of 
people with alternate identities! (And using "uncharacteristically" 
doesn't get you off the hook, you sneaky troll!) Surely you don't 
plan to start tarring me with *that* brush, too? I mean, for God's 
sake, you still write "rj/rjackson/jbor/?" even when the poor man has 
exasperated himself explaining his real name and his obvious shifts 
in email identities.

My name is Allen Buell Ruch. My nickname is "Quail." I have several 
email addresses, but all of them are signed by *me* and I only use 
this one on the List.

So please, take me off your demented laundry list, oh Inquisitor!
