I didn't. I told the forum at the time, Disqus, and all its readers that jjp58 stood for James J. Pierpont. I never said jjp58 was female. My icon wobbled between Dr. Paul Krugman and the actress Anne Francis, both of whom stood on higher principles than many. The Anne Francis icon may have led people to think jjp58 was female. In fact, the Paul Krugman icon made some people think I was male. When it comes to opinions, I don't think one's sex should make the slightest difference in their legitimacy.  Do you?

So in this case it is YOUR story that is twisted and if I may say so, a little crazy. My name is indeed Eric Norstog and I am in the phone book. I do not deliberately lie here; and since all lies are deliberate, I can say I don't lie. I make factual mistakes sometimes, and other posters are kind enough to point those out.
