    Not really. He changed his internet name, but has been upfront about
    his identity. He basically dropped the identity with his true name
    and went with Charles.

    I've done a similar thing - went from my actual name to 'Hobbes' and
    sign Keith at the bottom. I suspect most people know Hobbes is
    actually Keith Hobman. And most of us know who Charles is as well.

    BTW - obviously I'm not too worried if people know who I am. I don't
    feel any overt threat. Comes from living at the end of the world
    (okay, but you can see it from here!). But I do respect other people
    who don't want their names spread all over the place - like both
    Charles and Dally.

    BTW Dally - by the criteria you use if you consider Charles a
    sockpuppet than you would also be one. Right?

    Someday I'll come clean with my real identity. 🙂

    Fascinating.

    Since we're discussing Chuckles' mental maladies, can I request that
    somebody clear something up for me? ISTR seeing a couple references
    to the fact that "Charles" is actually the sock of another MFW
    regular. Is this true?

    Not really. He changed his internet name, but has been upfront about his
    identity. He basically dropped the identity with his true name and went
    with Charles.

    I've done a similar thing - went from my actual name to 'Hobbes' and
    sign Keith at the bottom. I suspect most people know Hobbes is actually
    Keith Hobman. And most of us know who Charles is as well.

    And all this time I thought you were Keith's evil twin.

    Keith is the evil twin. Mick is the good one. (Actually Mick is 11
    months and 4 days older, but everyone thought we were twins.)

    It is amazing the amount of time and effort that you have put into
    mocking Dally. It doesn't effect you in the slightest if she
    decides to call herself a triathlete, and you can't even pretend
    that you are sticking up for the honor of triathletes everywhere, as
    you are not (apparently) a triathlete either. So what precisely is
    your motivation? Does it simply appeal to you to be mean-spirited?
    Are you afraid that if Dally can be considered an athlete that they
    might start mistaking you for a forty-year-old female?

    It's especially interesting that you would respond the way that you
    have as Dally has never once professed to be a particularly
    proficient triathlete. She trained for months, she showed up, she
    ran. It's not like Dally is saying that she is now somehow more
    athletic than you are.

    Perhaps things are different where you are from, but where I live
    people that enjoy putting other people down for no apparent reason

    And there's the nub of it Jason, because the reasons aren't
    "apparent" to you. You'll need to go back a while to understand
    what's gone between Wendy and me, so you are really involving
    yourself in things you know nothing about.

    What sort of "history" could there be between you and Dally that would
    justify the type of language and behavior that you have exhibited?
    What did she do, steal your wife away?

    It's USENET and you are free to do whatever the heck you like, but
    most of the people that read your post won't know of your "history."
    Either include some rationale for your words (which will probably
    prove difficult) or find some other way to make your point that isn't
    so offensive. Either that or you can look like a dork every time you
    respond to Dally.

    It's up to you.

    When "John Hudson" posted an opinion on something recently (in one of

    Now listen up [censored], I shall say this only once:

    "Charles" is John Hudson, aka "Don Quixote" aka "Charles Ponsonby Esq"
    of www.fitnwell.net fame, and you only don't know because you wander
    about with your head firmly up your [censored] most of the time.

    Okay. Thanks.

    If there is anything else you would like to know just ask you dopey

    Well, since you're soliciting...

    If "Charles" is a "new" posting pseudonym, why do you still post as
    "John Hudson," as well? (Assuming, for the moment, you really are
    also "John Hudson," of course.)

    When "John Hudson" posted an opinion on something recently (in one of
    the "athlete"-related sub-threads, IIRC), "Charles" followed-up,
    agreeing in every respect. So either "Charles"/"John Hudson" has MPD
    or your were having a lark. Do you know which it was?


    Maybe it is a bipolar disorder.

    It is not a tooomah!!

    And there's the nub of it Jason, because the reasons aren't
    "apparent" to you. You'll need to go back a while to understand
    what's gone between Wendy and me, so you are really involving
    yourself in things you know nothing about.

    What sort of "history" could there be between you and Dally that would
    justify the type of language and behavior that you have exhibited?
    What did she do, steal your wife away?

    It's USENET and you are free to do whatever the heck you like, but
    most of the people that read your post won't know of your "history."
    Either include some rationale for your words (which will probably
    prove difficult) or find some other way to make your point that isn't
    so offensive. Either that or you can look like a dork every time you
    respond to Dally.

    It's up to you.


    Save your breath Jason.

    Chucky is always like this. He delights in the nimber of people he has
    driven way from this newsgroup with this kind of abuse.

    I can "nimber" the number of times you write [censored] like this by raising
    the number of legs on a centipede to the power of 50!! ;o)

    (If you don't understand that, don't try and work the "nimbers" out on
    your fingers.) ;o)
