    There is always a chance that you and your alter-ego will double their sales!


    How they got hold of your forum pseudonym in their customer contact base is a mystery.

    I have been getting 2 marketing junk mails from nearly every tool manufacturer, tech magazines and tract since 03-04 IMTS. All it takes is one vendor to spell your name wrong.......and one to spell it correctly. Obviously the mailing lists are shared or sold for years.

    Your user name isn't all that unrealistic. In our recent primary ballots, we actually had someone running under goodspaceguy. No first, last or middle init?
