I agree. Use your own name, not necessarily the one on your birth
certificate or even the one on the Deed Poll changed certificate.
I hear you ask: Which one in that case? Well, the one that you
are known by in your circles. What circles? I hear you say.

Good question and I will only babble a bit to fill in a little
space and time till old Korpela weighs in with something more
concise: OK, what about your personal household, Jeffrey? What
does your wife call you? Your kids? Your boss?

Golly now, I can hear you saying so many possible things: you
have a number of wives? A number of classes of kids? A number of
bosses? A number of different names?

Korpela might rule on the legitimacy of bigamists joining this
fine church, alt.html. Or he might rule that you are to choose
the name you use with the wife who is more interested in matters
web than any other wife?

Yes, I hear you ok: none of your wives are the least interested
in matters web! What will Korpela rule on now? Decisions,
decisions. Pull one of the names out of a hat? Are conmen not
welcome even if they are truly truly interested in matters html?

But Korpela is definitely right about your unfortunate choice,
not only to have too many wives and bosses and names but to even
deceive us here with cunningly devised questions to partial
solutions to non-urled problems that would not be worth urling or
ruling on anyway because they would be the wrong answers to the
wrong questions creating problems that multiply like the
epicycles in order to support a problem to go on existing when it
really ought never to have been born, am I making anything at all
clear to you in the temporary absence of old K?
