You believe that I do not have a reputation here? I'm sure others would
disagree. I'm sure that some view me as an idiot, some as amusing, and others as
just another contributor. It depends on your perspective. Even you have an
opinion of me or you would not be responding to my posts. Hence, I have a
certain reputation within your mind. Whether I am civil or not, well, I thought
I have been so far. At least I thought I was as polite as the average
contributor.

Oh, you meant that my not displaying my real name in order to maintain my
privacy is not civil. Hmmm. I'll have to think about that one. Is it more polite
for me to have the right to my privacy or for you to invade my privacy? Don't
quite know the answer to that one. Dann, Don, any thoughts on this?

C'est la guerre :)
