I was Mono on the previous version of this board. I decided to retire the name Mono (after one season's use) and go back to my original handle from Jazzhoops and various other Jazz websites, where I participated for years before going into about a 5 year lurk-mode.
I'm changing the name in the spirit of fresh starts. I think I behaved myself pretty well as Mono -- much better than a lot of you, let's be honest! (but not as well as others) -- but the last thing I did before the board crashed was get into some stupid flaming argument with somebody... So I kind of blew it. Then I went on vacation, went to my sister's wedding, visited some family, came back to Jazzfanz to find that it had crashed and everything was gone. I never did get to see further posts in that argument. And I'm pretty grateful for that.
So with the new name, I hope to take a fresh start. So hello to all my friends, it's good to be back.
