I am really really missing the community and sense of belonging that I felt here when I was posting regularly. I long to come back to that, but want to remain anonymous to my MIL and family. If no one is opposed I’d like to create a new admin/moderator account for myself, color myself red (so I fit in with the other admins) and begin actively posting again. Would this be okay with everyone? I haven’t figured out what name to give myself yet. Once I decide I will let you all know so you know it’s me.

In that case, any suggestions? I prefer to not draw too much attention to myself!What do you personally relate to? At the time I picked “Orson” I loved a lot of the things I learned about Orson Pratt, including the quote in my sig. Well, I think I am going to go with…: drum roll please : Euhemerus. How’s that (not that anyone cares)? Wikipedia says:
Quote:Though his work is lost, the reputation of Euhemerus was that he believed that much of Greek mythology could be interpreted as natural events subsequently given supernatural characteristics.
Also, if it’s okay with everyone involved (mostly Hawkgrrrl though I suppose) I’d like to use this handle to write some posts for MM as well.
I love this (from the Wikipedia article)
Quote:the dividing line between gods and men is not always clear
It reminds me of the general thought in my “slide rule” post, and in my opinion demonstrates an undeniable element of mortality.Cool name, how do we shorten it?
I like the nickname “Eu” – it could even be for the “nerdish” name Eugene! Edit: …and Eugene England was a totally cool Mormon!

😆 😆 
Better than “Pee Eu”, I suppose. You know, one thing that’s a bit frustrating with phpBB is the permissions setup. It feels a bit like it’s all over the place sometimes. There’s group permissions, user permissions, and that’s just fine. But there’s these other levels that I don’t fully understand yet. Maybe I can’t see all the options or something. I think only the site-admin can do some things. In any case, the point of my whining is that I don’t the ability as “jmb275” to make my new handle “Euhemerus” an admin. I’m not sure who has that ability. I think John gave it to me initially. Do any of the rest of you have the ability to manage the members of the “admin” group? Maybe only the site-admin does which is John. I guess that would make sense. I suppose I’ll email John.
Only the all-powerful being known as “John” has the mighty ability to alter “Admins” in our world. Done. Oh, I just wanted to mention now for Hawk’s sake, that Euhemerus is now a “sock puppet” for jmb275! 😆 😆 😆 😆 👿 🙄 Eu are welcome to sockpuppet!
