There was some sort of screw up on the registered member database. My password would no longer work. After some really patient help from the Webmaster, it was finally determined to be necessary for me to register under a new Username.
So …
I used to be Ranger Jeff, now I’m Ranger. Still the same person, no sock puppet here. That would be the easy way, but as those of you who know me might remember… it wouldn’t be…
The Cowboy Way!
Happy trails!

Welcome aboard, newbie!
It might be rough at first (we take a little getting used to) but soon you’ll fit right in!
A couple of words of advice:
Good luck in your new adventure!

Uhhhhh…RangerJeff is no newbie. No way. Uh uh. He’s had at more than one question answered by Cecil. He’s not just a Cowboy. He’s a God.
Anyway…thanks for the notice, Jeff! I was wndering where you’d been. Hey, are you going to be able to make it to Toledo? I want to kiss your ring.

WOW, back to zero on your post count!
Hey, RJ! Or should I just call you “R” now? Good to see you posting here!

Flinx??!!??!!
How are you doing, Snarkie? Nice to see you again.
And Cristi, if they don’t make me work Saturday, looks like I can be there late Sat afternoon, Sat evening, and Sunday morning. I don’t wear rings, but I’ll wear my ranger hat complete with ranger star, ok? I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Yep, it’s Flinx now, due to an unfortunate mistake on my part. Doing fine, RJ, and hope you are okay as well.

Cristi, I think you may have earned yourself a “whooosh.”
I guess my annual happy birthday song got lost in the mail, eh? 
It’s still not too late, you know.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
We used to have a newbie here by the name of Ranger Jeff.
Any relation?

I started this thread by stating:
I hope this clears up any confusion. Tho I was an infrequent poster, not a newbie.

Whoosh!
I wuz funnin’ ya, Jeff.
P.S. Nice to have you back.
I think Ranger is a troll
Oh, crap. I know a different Ranger on a different board. All my realities are crashing together. Are you an actual RL ranger too, Ranger? That’d be the capper. 
All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.
Some of you may not be aware of this, but Ranger Jeff is the proud owner of the Official Straight Dope Branding Iron, used on newbies who prove themselves worthy of the “reg” status.

Wow! Me 'n Jeff both got whooshed! In the same thread! Kick butt!
Nemo, you have the honor of being the first to whoosh me. Congratulations to you, and a big ol’ “D’oh!” from me!
Shadowfox: I don’t know about you, but the thought of UncleBeer & RangerJeff in the same room at the same time is giving me the vapors. Quick! Help me think of a reason to leave my husband at home!

Cristi, your babysitter could suddenly come down with swine flu or cholera, which means your hubby would have to stay home and watch the children. Either that or we ditch him at a rest stop on the way there!

Shadow, the cholera idea is a great one, except that it’s my mom that’s babysitting the kids. There’s no way I could get her to fake cholera. She loves me, but she does have her limits.
So, it looks like we leave him at a rest stop.

Well, not that I’ve ever done this, but I’ve heard that if you stop in a bar with him and when he’s not looking slip the bartender a 20 and say “Has my friend, Micheal Finn, been here?” your problem might be taken care of.
Not that I advise anyone to do this.
