<DIV>Actually my first year at Uni I played a game of D&D (That's not a
swearword Eric) as I had heard of it and yet did not know anything about it. -
Computer Science major - I know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway the other players had called their characters the likes of
"Shadowsun Dreamweaver" etc which sounded rather spak and all, so I called my
character "Bob" as a contrast and piss-take. It really wound them up
:o) anyway they forgot my real name as they had called me Greg
once and Bob for the rest of the day, so comes the next session a week later
they looked for me in the halls of residence and strolled around calling out
"Bob" to find me "anyone seen Bob"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I eventually saw them, said Hiya and wandered off to play again. They
thought I was called bob and so called me Bob. My fellow tenants at the halls of
residence (frat type thingy) thought my name was Bob as I answered to it and all
my "friends" called me it, so they \called me it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Soon everyone I knew at Uni called me Bob - including my parents and family
as if they asked for Greg on the phone they got hung up on - "Nope - no Greg's
here"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>:o)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My wife and her parents only knew me as Bob up until we got engaged (well
my wife to be knew I was a Greg - but she wanted the priest to marry us as Bob
and Sue)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I feel that Bob is better environmentally as it has only 2 letters (albeit
one repeated) which is shorter than Greg and so saves Trees. By the time I die a
small bush worth of paper need not have been cut down to be used as paper to
write my name. (25% savings)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just think if Gary went by the name of Des (Dessesbo) then he can also
likewise save 25% paper usage.</DIV>
