ORIGINAL: UmbraDomina I always sign my first name to emails, I don't offer my last name, (unless it's business or such of course). I figgure there are thousands of Alexandra's out in the world so it's not like I am giving any special info to people, beyound how I prefer to be addressed. It also saves the trouble of people destroying my user name it shreds, most people don't realize it's latin, I often get called...... uberdomina........ urggggggg it's Umbra (shadow in latin, domina being lady). my thinking is the same as yours, UmbraDomina. a first name is not much to go on, if one was trying to do any kind of searches to find out further info on you. i honestly think it is an oversight on a lot of people part. in a world where instant gratification is the norm, who has time to type out a few characters on the computer. i realize that i have no rights to dictate how others conduct themselves in an online enviorment where e-mails are shared back and forth, but i certainly have a right not to respond to someone who is not mannered to my liking and/or is paranoid about sharing a simple first name. may we all find our bliss.
