Ah. Right you are. Professor X, as I recall.
Funny how screen names become elaborated or abbreviated over time. When I picked mine - Sam Therapy - it was the nearest thing I've ever had to a real name. Internally, my given name is most emphatically not my real name. Not that I have anything against it; it's just not me, it's a label with absolutely no content. Internally, I'm still not sure I have a name at all. When considering how the screen name would be as a full, real name, Xavier was somehow a logical choice. Somehow, it's more "me" than Paul Anthony Bellamy, even though I'm proud of my family name and connections, and I do have a genuine attachment to Anthony. Well, it was my father's name and we gave it to our son as his middle name, so I guess I must like it.
Me, though, inside I'm just "Hey, you", or not even that.
