What happened to all the posts?

For some time now I've been tryng to find a way to have different names on different blogs.  This allows me to do a number of things, primarily it allows me to post to my family blog using my real name (Bill Gates), while posting here using my nom de plume.  Now, you may wonder why I want to use a nom de plume here instead of my real name.  Or, if you're not the inquisitive type, not.  But let's assume for a few moments you are.  Inquisitive.  And you're wondering why I don't wantr to use my real name (Bill Gates) here.  It's because I don't trust you.

Now, it's nothing personal.  I didn't google you and say "HECK NO!  I do NOT want that person knowing how to track me down (I live in the USA) to my house (a big one. In or Seattle, I believe), or worse yet, come to my place of work (Microsoft, 1 Microsoft Way, Seattle).  Well, not all of you (you know who I mean!).  It's just that I don't know you, and trusting someone you don't know leads to all sorts of problems (usually involving rich dead millionaires in Zambia who for reasons that make no sense to sane and normal people wants to give you 35% of his 100 million Euro fortune).

I also want to be able to talk about my co-workers without them knowing who I am.  It's kind of embarrassing when you refer to someone as a techno-peasant snot nosed lying MCSE reject with more issues than Oprah (and here I'm referring to the magazine) and a body odour problem that makes a skunk victim smell like a breath of fress meadow air and the next morning when you greet them they have a sad tear in the corner of their eye, and look at you with a mixture of guilt and betrayed hurt in their eye.  Or stick a nail in your tyre.

So, unfortunately, I must hide my true identity from you.  Like Superman, and Spider Man, and Iron Man, and the Green Lantern, and Wonder Women (without, of course, the breasts).  As you can see, I'm in good company, and will still respond to any mails you send to my email address (bill.gates@microsoft.com) that actually reach me.

But I got horribly sidetracked,  I have been trying to add this layer of anonymity (my super hero costume, if you will), and have found myself completely unable to do so using my normal blogger account (richbilly@gmail.com), and have had to resort to creating a SECOND blogger account.  And since you can't change authors on blog entries (a feature, I'm sure), I've had to re-post all stories under my new name.  Synackman Synack.

The down side of this is that all comments are gone, and all stories appear to have been posted today.  I can live with that, although I'm prepared to bet good money it's going to really play havoc with Google's cached search info.  You will not BELIEVE how many hits I get from Google daily.  Well, OK, only 2 so far this week, but it's building!

So, go out there and re-enjoy all the new posts I submitted today.
