I know everybody who has a funky screen name has some sort of reason for it... but I am 100% in agreement with Les!!!
I have always used my full name on all the forums, so my name is put up there every single time I post something (not always good, lol) But I think it's a huge part of getting your name out, and fast.
Doing quality work is what will get you recognized, but if your name is easily tagged to it, it sure can't hurt!!!
BTW- I'm going to have to talk with Burch since he told me Mr. George's real name was Frederico!!! dancing dog
