Haha, well, I've definitely met you in person a few times, whether or not you remember it. I just realized the mix of what people call you and had never been instructed on it that's all. I will say that I probably have not formally met you and introduced myself as I'm not good with things like that.
At any rate, I entirely understand what you mean about the filter. My real name is Charles. Chad isn't anywhere near Charles. When someone calls me Charles, I know immediately they do not know me, even when they feel or act as though they do (such as someone trying to sell me something).
