Sorry, it is NTN and it stands for National Trivia Network.

I hadn’t realized that I had the wrong initials in my profile, and have corrected them.

However, I still don’t get it. Am I being dense, here?

What does this have to do with DDG?

Eh, **Scotti,** I dunno what’s going on, either. Best guesss is that it has to do with the fact that your sig includes the word “duck”, plus the fact that somebody’s evidently got some panties in a bunch, the exact reason for which still unknown as of this writing.

Don’t sweat it, sweetie. I seriously doubt it’s anything personal. Hey, did I ever tell you that for the longest time I kept reading your nick as “Schottische”, you know, like the dance? It’s like a polka. Then I finally saw somebody call you “Scotti” and the penny dropped. Weird, huh?

Yeah, I went out to dinner and realized over the soup course that this guy evidentally thinks I am your sock puppet. Which is a compliment, as I have always found your posts to be intelligent and witty. And, I have always thought you were a woman, even when it appeared that the evidence may point in the other direction. It was brave of you to come clean.

BTW, thank you so much for taking me along on your vacation. Did I have a good time?

I can see how you could get confused on the Scotticher/Schottische thing. I actually tried to do that dance one time, but I don’t like to have to think that hard when I am dancing.

So, if I am you, you have been a very busy girl! As much as the two of us post, I presume you have no job, no family and no life outside this board?🙂

We are so sad!
