> I suggested that a while ago, before I was a deputy, because it seemed like a good idea to me. But now, I think I'm more inclined towards the semi-anonymity of Deputy 1, etc.

> I'm guessing that part of Bob's reason for this is so that he can scan the boards briefly, and see right away where deputy action has taken place. That makes sense to me, considering he has had limited time lately for that side of what he does. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have him direct energy towards the back room stuff -- maintaining the code, improving functionality, security stuff, etc -- than do the board thing, so anything that makes it easier for him to do his job seems like a good idea to me.*I agree with you there. The deputies have done a good job in Bobs absence, and as long as bob is willing to keep up on deputy actions and support his deputies properly, I think its better w/o him really. This does not mean I don't like him or think he is a bad person ;-}
Its nice when he's around and all, but I think running this place properly given that he seems to have little time these days is a priority.
If he can't run it properly, he should shut it down IMHO.We babblers can find each other elsewhere.

> On the other hand, I also want Bob to be able to see, right away, which deputy took which action. That's just about accountability, and there are other ways to address that issue, too. So, I would vote for Deputy 1, Deputy 2, etc. My guess is that most people who figure out who each of us is, though, and so we may as well use Deputy PostingName.*meaning like what you do now? Yeah, it is clear to me when they are or are not a deputy. You guys are good about posting when your being deputy. I was wondering why i have so little problem separating the deputies self, from their babbler self. And it occured to me its cuz I am somewhat split (not DID, but split), and so it seems utterly normal to me to adress you guys in whatever mode you are in. And bless your hearts, its never come back on me to my knowledge, that something I've said eg to 'Racer' hasn't ended firing up 'deputy Racer' to come after me!!!!LOL. Which isn't to say it won't happen, and thats OK. ;-}
I'm not quite sure bout what you mean by Bob being able to know right away as to which deputy did what? Why it would matter really? Could he not know some other way who took action, if he cared to find out? Does it really matter? But I take your word on it as you must know better than I the reasoning why.

> At least, that's my very confused thinking tonight...**LOL, I been confusing people at my kids school today with the tortuous paths of my thots today! Its funny to see the look on their faces of disbeleif that the person they know to be relatively rational(if weird) rambling in such an odd fashion! Oh well. I don't worry bout it, I just laugh, cuz WTF else can I do!!!:-)

> Racer, posting as a very tired, rather confused, halfway sentient Babbler...OK babbler Racer. Hope you doing OK. Always nice to hear from you.
You take care,
