I'm not hiding at all - we are having problems with our service provider and
for some reason it keeps sending my msgs under a different name. When I
write the msg it has my name on it but once it leaves and goes through the
provider, it changes. They are trying to fix the problem. I didn't know it
had the other name until it flashed up on my computer as such.
I never hide - I'm too vocal for that!!
