Name of person

You go fishing with them.  More than once.
Go, over their house and eat dinner you just caught.  Have them over your house.
In other words, become real friends.........It works

That's exactly right Bushminster Abby, SCAllen.

What is YOUR full name then?  And whille your at it, your address, phone number, etc...   

In other words newbs, don't ask on the forum what folks names are.
Eventually of you get to know folks you will get to know names.

If not.........

trip out..there are sets of internet footprints outside my bedroom window in the morning dew...they lead up to the window and then away into the woods.....is that you

My screen name has a list to pick from. Or you can just call me ,"Big Papa".  . Just kiddin. Welcome. I just pop out of the shadows every once in awhile. I have only met a few peeps. Very tight family here. I am still a distant cousin. But working on it

I got to say, this whole conversation feels weird to me.  I mean, you don't walk down a mall yelling out your full name and where you are from.  Why do it here?  The internet is very public.

I agree.

I think you'll find that on most forums (not just this one), people do not reveal their full names.  I think you were also asking about how to search for people based on their location.

Actually, I took a second look at YOUR screen name: modrealtor. Are you going to try to sell us something other than kayak/fishing related stuff? That's EXACTLY why I don't want to be "found".

No motive to sell anything. I guess asking for name of people is a no, no. I'm good with that, I'm just social and old school about addressing folks by their name. 

Not actually a "No No" just a personal thing.
As you meet people and get to know them, when you ask their name ... Go with what they say.
They may prefer their birth name or their screen name, either is ok.

Yeah that.

Wow. I think everyone here is social and i am old school., but i didnt expect to be one of the gang without people getting to know me. Just my two cents. No worries. 

It looks like a real estate agent is trying to build his database

Agreed.        I dont buy your old school bit one bit.

Dont get me started on screen names 

Heck !!! Racin Rob scolded me cause I didn't know he had multiple names and that he changed his name frequently... This guy. 

modrealtor.. you may also want to look at the NAR guidelines use of Realtor, as I believe your screen name is in violation
