Sorry if you mistake my meaning. I don't mean to say you are particularily brilliant, or that you are not. I only wished to point out that you when you 'outed' yourself, you seemed pleased with your duplicity and surprised that others could not see past your mask.
The fact that you 'hid' behind another name, whether you thought anyone with half a brain should have recognized your 'clues', is what I was calling - disingenuous. I understand why you weren't telling people who you were. Regardless, you were not being candid about who you were.
As far as hiding online is concerned, it isn't too hard to do so when most users are not in the habit of digging through every reference you make about the past to deduce who you might be.
Finally, I don't want to derail this thread and certainly don't want you to feel I have any animosity toward you. Congratulations on your current open-mindedness, which I have always felt this board was about.
