I guess the topics get a little hot around here.I live in the northeast. I have been dancing, since I was 13.I have always used the nickname balletboy.I see that there is already a balletboy.But since the name is not copyrighted, I can use it.From what I read the old balletboy is retired for awhile. When he comes back, we will see. A compromise I guess.<br>>I hope this doesn't come across as too preachy...but, you know,<br>>it's just common courtesy to use a name that isn't a duplicate<br>>of someone else's. No, Balletboy doesn't have a copyright on his<br>>name (as far as I know), or anything enforceable...but, after all,<br>>he shouldn't need that. There's no point in causing avoidable unpleasantness...<br>>As far as I know, I'm the only Tom who hangs out around here. My<br>>name has always been Tom, just as you have always used Balletboy.<br>>But if anyone objected, I'd be willing to call myself Tom2 without<br>>any fuss. It would be the civilized thing to do.<br>>Tom Parsons<p>Dear Tom,<br>Thanks for the advise.You seem to be a real gentleman.[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
