I have been away from the boards for the last week, or so, to enable me to concentrate on a couple of personal projects - in the most 'DFW' way of course.
I logged on today to find that my user name seems to have turned into r!!! :confused:
The name above my avatar remains correct, but it seems that each time somebody types my name, or quotes one of my posts, I become r!!!
Have I offended the powers that be, or has my name been included in the latest glossary of 'obscene' or 'provocative' words?
IF I have offended, in any way, please tell me rather than just blank my username - I feel as though I've been sent to Coventry.
Or, perhaps, there is a 'technical' explanation? - any ideas, please.

R!!! (Should be rog 2 without the space)
I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    I noticed that as well, I was asking a question about your chickens somewhere, related to the new HFW prog, i was never answered. They probably thought i was swearing at them.

    How are they by the way?
