I know this probably seems very trivial to you, but lately there's been a caller who identifies himself as "Mike in Vegas". I know it's not like he's trying to impersonate me or anything, and I realize it's my own fault for choosing such a generic name, but at this point in time I'd like to think that I've had enough interaction on the show (and this forum) that when someone hears "Mike in Vegas", they think of me, much the same way people do with names like "GreatBluedini" or "Man of Letters. I'm not rying to compare myself to them or anything, but hopefully you understand what I'm getting at. It wouldn't be so bad, except that the caller always seems to make an ass of himself (IMO).
Anyway, I know it's probably a stupid and unrealistic favor to ask, and I wouldn't blame you one bit for rolling your eyes at how inflated my perception of my identity is, but if there's any way, any way at all to make clear that "Mike in Vegas" caller and "Mike in Vegas" tweeter are not the same person, I'd be forever grateful.
Once again, I know you probably think this is all very stupid, and I wouldn't blame you if you did, but to me my identity means everything in regards to how I interact with you and the show. I guess I don't honestly expect you to go out of your way to say anything, and I won't hold it against you if you don't, but I figured I'd at least give it a try.
I guess if nothing else, at least you'll know we're 2 different people. Thanks JJ.. sincerely, "Mike in Vegas"
