Good thing, because it was never, ever, meant to be funny, just another way of saying, "When in Rome ...", combined with some very strong encouragement from my interpreter, and board secretary, to all of our local members, that we not divulge our real identity, and, especially our local board affiliation, on any form of social media. I'm IAABO, from Connecticut, and my day job is as an environmental chemical analyst. That's all I can give you, and maybe that's too much. I have divulged a lot more information about myself (real name, local board, email, phone number, home town, etc.) to those who have contacted me by private message, and hope that those members keep my identify a secret.

Note: I have a tremendous amount of respect for those Forum members who use their real names. Unfortunately, I usually do what I'm told to do by my local board and can't post under my real name. I'm not hiding behind my pseudonym, but it does seem somewhat cowardly. You may not believe me, but I would post the same thing if I were posting under my real name.
