Al is part of my user name too so it really doesn't make much difference.

I've been called alot of things in my long life, so it really doesn't matter to me.
But I do "draw the line" on profanity, intelligence references. At that point you lose my interest.

I didn't vote, because I do not have a preference. ( no listing for either ) There aren't too many Cecil's around, so I love hearing from others with my unique name.

Is there a site etiquette concerning this subject. I know when you PM someone a couple times you may start using real/nick names, on PMs.
But on site, aren`t we sorta using "User" names for a reason?
Sorta like not using all caps.

On other forums it seems screen names are used almost 100% of the time. The exception being when someones screen name is their real name or it's a personal type message.

That`s what I was referring to. PMs are more personable.

Yup. I chose screen name but like I said I don't mind when most members of the forum address me as Tony. I just prefer me screen name over my real name.
