Because typing my full name takes longer and because it avoids confusion with others with the same or similar names. I also work for the state of missouri so if you go to the missouri state website and look under Dept Mental Health - Laycock you can get an a job description and my annual salary along with my job location. The location bit is handy because I have relatives scattered about and if someone mentions a FTF sale or something and they are off line etc, I can judge pretty quickly if it would be worth my time to follow it up or disregard. If you feel the need for some kind of deep cover, that is strictly up to you, just don't get insulted if I think it is a bit paranoid. Everyone here is and has been very helpful and pleasant to deal with, I have , after all, sent checks, money orders, and valuable barrels etc off into the mail to people I have never met or heard of before just on the strength of that little "trade" rating. I guarantee that somewhere in the bowels of some government agency some vast storage unit has recorded for possible data mining every email, pm, advertisement, etc that mentions firearm, explosive, Allah, ephedrine etc etc. Fortunately their level of ineptitude, lack of cooperation and ego levels will make using it next to impossible. Any way, a pleasant good night to all.
