[senco-forum] being recognised off the forum

With my christian name it's easy to recognise me. It's not a common name.

maybe sometimes it is not a bad thing?

had it not been for the forum and my name on it we would have missed out on
friends who'd lost our contact details meeting up with us for a w/e in
Europe, would have missed contacts from people who needed info on dyslexia
provision in Dubai, and I am forever grateful that Martin Miles made contact
and, as a result, came out here to do courses and bring Acceleread
Accelewrite and Dragon Dictate Naturally Speaking to our attention.
