And one thing I remember from years back was Valerie starting a chain 
reaction where a bunch of people changed their logins from whatever 
they were to their real names.  It was just a thing to do at the time, 
like maybe it made your posts more real or something if you used your 
real name as your login. One day "Popcorn" started posting as "Valerie" 
and suddenly other users followed in suit and started using their real 
names.  Grex's "reality" phase.  That was when I changed from "Kerouac" 
to "Richard"  I figured if people want to be their actual names for 
their logins, well that isn't a bad thing, and if Valerie is 
being "Valerie" now, well it must be a real trend. 

It got confusing actually, because at that time there were three active 
Valeries on grex-- Val (Valerie Szopko), BlondVal (Brighn's wife, I 
don't remember her last name but she was the blonde Valerie), and 
Valerie.  Now all the Valeries are gone.  There are no more Valeries on 
Grex.  :(
