Two things about this:

First, I get the same Alice in Wonderland feeling when you reply
to earthlings who are lucky enough to have a real name.

Second, I am flabbergasted that the lack of a name that satisfies
you causes you to post articles that I have to change from

to

Western (Mac OS Roman) on my newsreader.

This is for the majority of your posts in the last few months.
The default is Simplified Chinese as I get them. Only from you.

Don't get me wrong, I like this. I am just pointing out the
quixotic nature of everything to do with your posts that I find
so fascinating and reminds me of A in W. The idea that all this
would have been different had I given you a normal earthling name
is particularly thrilling and has cheered my morning up.
