**Marley23** , perhaps even a name change could be helpful. I suggest **ModMarley**. Think of it, it’s just like the song in those Clay Henry Subway commercials. _He’s **Marley** , **ModMarley** …_ Real catchy, just MHO. ---

I am so, so sorry, **Marley23**. Did they catch you when you weren’t looking? Poor guy. Well, I guess there’s nothing to do for it. You’re in it now, may as well make the best of it. Meanwhile, I suppose someone had better go ahead and start your first pit thread calling you a jack-booted thug. 😉 ---
