So I sent an e-mail out to everyone identifying people by their real life first names and making a joke that ButtatakiBuddha 's real name couldn't possibly be James Kirk.. talk about putting my foot in my mouth ! 
... as it turns out his father was a Star Trek fan (nothing wrong with that I think we'd all welcome having a dad who's a Star Trek fan - if we weren't sci-fi or fantasy geeks we probably wouldn't be RPG'ing in the first place 
) .. so his name really is James Kirk ! And for my new name you can just call me doofus ...
So a sincere apology to buttatakibuddha (personally I think James Kirk is a cool name - named after one of the greatest sci-fi characters of our time , awesome
) ... he told me it was ok and everyone just assumes it's not his real name but I figured I should apologize nonetheless.

... it shows up on yahoo when you send e-mails, probably because you put your real name in on yahoo when you signed up for the account which makes it automatically show up in any e-mails you send - I just figured you already knew that your real name would appear in yahoo e-mails anyways and you didn't care if it did... again my apologies !
