Just for the record, I want to take this opportunity to say that I always have to read your name twice. My brain insists on reading it as “puzz legal” at first.

Yes, you can gift anonymously.

Here’s how the gift thing works.

1. You go to the UserCP and under Paid Subscriptions buy one. Or more!
2. I contact you (or you send me an email [TubaDiva@aol.com](mailto:TubaDiva@aol.com)) and tell me the following:

The screen name of the giftee  
Whether you want to be anonymous or if you want the giftee to know it came from you.

1. I lay the subscription on the giftee
2. I send them an email telling them about it.  
[del]5. Profit![/del]

And that’s how it goes.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
