That comes up once every several years. I’ve wanted to ask a follow-up: did Deb ever get around to posting anywhere and what does she make of your username? ---

Regardless, she is entitled to 50% of the proceeds he earns from the SDMB. I don’t know how you use half a coffee mug but the law is the law. ---

She moves in different circles on the web. The username is OK with her; it is still one e-mail address that we share (not on AOL any more). ---
