Actually I don't have a problem with nicknames. It just gets 
confusing when I get email from someone named something like 
"vwjock" which is later followed up by a letter from something like 
"Steve Smith" with nothing to tie the two together. 

I guess I should have made the distinction between one's identity in 
the email software and one's username (which in your case is 
sonny8oy.) The latter you can't do anything about, but the former is 
under your control, at least with MOST email software. The 
dedicated software for AOL and Compuserve may be exceptions.

Anyway, welcome to the list under whichever name you prefer to 
be called.
