for some reason I feel obligated to say something here. I’m not sure what, or even why. “Daniel” is my real name, though.
sorry if I caused any confusion.

I post under my real name, and I’ve got the e-mail link displayed. I haven’t received any nasty e-mails, or actually any at all. Now I’m feeling oddly insulted by that.

Y’know, I thought that nothing could hurt my eyes and head more than the bizzarre HTML coding you used to use, Dan.
Please go back to using it. For the love of God, Bostaph…
