Part of this was insufficient info on my part. I did some
checking.
The source I had was wrong. My mistake on the
"official" status of
his name. I apologize to you all.
my point, however, remains the same, and is this.
Obviously, he has
chosen to use different names, at different times, to
"fit in", as you
put it. Names are important, as this is how one is
identified in
society. If an individual chooses to go by different
names, this must
be because of a desire to be identified differently, what
ever
motivation may be at the root. I grow concerned when a
person chooses
to use a name with less than auspicious connotations,
unless you seek
to identify with a group that approves. It would be no
different if
he chose to call himself "Chirp birdie bird".
This would be an
attempt to identify with a particular sub-culture, for
which I have
little respect. Thus, I would have little respect for the
individual,
either.
We are judged by those with whom we associate.

At least it is memorable, Lynn. :)
But yeah Ray, you kind of lost me on this one, too. I am
not sure
exactly what you are getting at, so clarify if you can.
Lynn is
correct
from my understanding. He also used the name Barry Dunham,
but BHO is
official.
