I realized that Introductions was not where I needed post. So I'm reposting!
Yes, It's me, Swan. Following a devastating computer 'death' (hard drive 100% destroyed) and total data loss, I can tell you.... Going through computer drawers, hunting scraps of paper to find any and every password I still had scribbled.... has taught me a good lesson.
They say "never write down your passwords." OH YEAH?! If I hadn't scrawled various words here and there, user names and etc... I'd be "gone" in an identity sense... I can't find any trace of "who" I was in a whole BUNCH of boards... so I re-invented myself.
So now I nave my passwords written down! It's been two months of rebuilding who I "was" and recreating what could not be rebuilt. Danged hard work. Anyway, you can read the rest in Introductions and I'll be re-connecting with others as I go.
