Thanks, I'll do my best. I'm already on e-z boards as JerryO13 so I figured I'd stay with that or do you guys think I should re-register with my full name?

I've wondered about that myself Jerry. I was already registered on EzBoard as primos. I had considered creating a new account with my full name.

There's two reasons for this. On this forum, I feel like part of the family and actually prefer to use my full name. More important than that though, is that my personal signature follows me to any of the EzBoard forums that go to.

So when I am in a discussion on a forum about Graphic Design, HTML, animated GIFs, etc., my little blade forging signature is there with me. And forging a blade has nothing to do with these topics.

If we decide to go with new accounts bearing our full names, we will have to be sure and let Alex know. Our moderator status is set for our current account names.

My personal opinion ...

First ...
Without question, you "ARE" part of this, and "US"! ... That will never be an issue. In fact, more than a part!

But, above all that ... a more important issue exists that relates to you within the industry.

In an extreme sense, we are working together and gradually building what we hope to become "THE" internet, as it relates specifically to the custom knife industry out here. This is "the" industry that we work and sell within. So, unlike a chat site on AOL for instance, you are a "SYMBOL",a "BRAND" and a "PRODUCT" within this arena.

It has always been my personal view that when a person is inside their circle of trade or influence, they should invest all their efforts to build their "brand identity" as well as being seen as someone who will put their name on their opinions.

Of course, it's still a matter of personal preference.

or 3 months, and no one has even looked at it. a whole forum for custom collecting etc. Guess you got to Alex first :(

Cool
