I was actually thinking about how I was gonna respond this today before I stumbled upon here.

On other boards I joined before here, I post as "neilpeartjr." I called myself it, because I was a drummer at the time and I was modeling myself after you know who's style. I also like Neil's interviews. Since then, I have stopped practicing on my drumset (general laziness and your morale kinda drops when its so noisy that everyone wants you to stop playing as much as possible) and not long thereafter sold it altogether. So I pretty much don't bother with the name "neilpeartjr." anymore whenver I join new boards.

For the life of me, I cannot remember how I managed to join this site with both the neilpeartjr. name and JRA. My best guess is I registered with my gmail address for one of them and the other one was with a Northeastern University account (which I had before I got gmail).

I never realized this until I'm looking at the board and I respond to one of my own threads as "the other guy" without even thinking about it. The first time I did I was fucking stumped. I thought I stepped into the twilight zone. I email Syd asking him to get rid of it, but I guess he didn't feel like it so he told me not to worry. Then April Fool's day rolls around, and Syd wants to play a prank on the board, and since I had two names, and didn't really bother with the other one, it perfectly fit his plan.

Oh and my "suicide note." It was a combination of both problems I had a very long time ago but have since resolved themselves and other peoples prejudices that pissed me off molded into one giant slab of upset.

So I'm doing just fine, thank you very much


Hey Syd, what am I getting in return for my participation in the site prank anyway?

Do you really think I could make that shit up?
