I have abused the old standard
"You can call me anything you please, just don't call me late for supper" so much
that some of my (impatient) friends call me "Anything You Please" or "Late for Supper".My good friends call me Jim. It'd make me happy if you would.
As I grasp your name change I want abjure the other putative puns.
People's names deserve respect especially when it's such a beautiful name and for such a beautiful person, Clear.This second I realized I can use "Anything You Please" or "Late for Supper" on a message board/forum. (applause!)

And my processors aren't online as regularly. But my cumulative computations over time sharpen the focus. And what I am seeing is blowing my mind. My goodness.
To leave
around '05 with the bustling and tumult of masses of users avalaching posts, with tsunamis of comments by cyber comrades, members, network citizens of, I imagine,thousands (and thousand?)
of the most hopeful, crazy, friendly, confused, lonely, nurturing, angry, desperate, beautiful, suffering beings, all interacting in a vast matrix of reciprocal human exchange: A huge thriving virtual metropolis!
I never thought to check back, so there is no in between for me.
I got to lie down a minute.To come back
August 2016:
I could never have imagined this. I called my thread "Ghost Story: Glory Haze" referring to ME. I'm so slow it's taken a week to come to grips with the scale of this depopulation.I'm not the ghost story, PsychoBabble is the ghost story!
PsychoBabble is a GHOST Town!
('Ghost' seems such apt tag for some of the delusional denizens still haunting PB)
and it astounds me. Completely.Maybe there are places in the archives that document what happened. Hsiang taking a powder seems salient, but it may be either cause or effect and we can't exclude it being both. Did the bottom get blown out of their rubber raft before the Sheriff road off Or was that Sunset already coming down and knocked him off that pony? Must hope Doc B remains unharmed and intact. That would be too cruel.
Did scientists discovering the Mayan ruins feel this way?
I need to rest again. I am flabbergasted!
Take Care
