my first time

Post #1

Post by archaeologist »

hello, it will take me a few posts to get adjusted to the format and rules here. i have read them several times and will try to make sure i comply, but keep in mind i will make mistakes or forget. adjustments are never fun.

i am a private person so please do not ask personal questions because i will not answer them. in writing my name i prefer my username, 'archaeologist', but 'archie' or 'arch' is fine as well. oh and please just use my name just once in a post. i do not need to read it over and over as i usually know when you are talking to me.

Welcome. I would like to ask you about your moniker however. Mine, "SailingCyclops", is meaningful, because I am a sailor, I live on the ocean, and I have one seeing eye. Your's is "archaeologist", is it also meaningful? Are you an archaeologist? This is not a "personal" question, just a query for me to understand who I am addressing when I respond to your posts. Should I envision and interact with you you as an archaeologist (a scientist), or simply as an Archie (A fellow human)? Not that they are both mutually exclusive.

This wouldn't be an issue for me if your moniker were generic, but you have chosen a specific scientific discipline. Does it have a real-world meaning? It's OK if it doesn't, I just would like to know.
