Mike, you invoked my name with some measure of respect. Perhaps, therefore, you will be inclined to accept my word that Hooked Claw is indeed a Catholic priest in good standing who has reasonable and noble reasons for his anonymity.

As for the phenomenon of one person posting under multiple name, it is a well know practice. In my town, the gentleman who is now our major, prior to his election, adopted multiple names in the online forum of one of our local papers. He held conversations with himself, and, of course, expressed a good deal anonymous support for his own candidacy. He was outed, embarrassed, and to his honour, confessed his electronic sin.

This is not to suggest IN ANY WAY that you and Marty are one and the same; only that dual online personalities is non unknown, and is a recurring suspicion on this forum.
