[edit] Why the covering up of your nick with the fake "Longshanks" nick?

May I ask why you are using "[[User:Sillver Mountain|Longshanks]]" to sign your name, making it look like your username is something different than it actually is? I hope I'm not coming across as accusatory, but I can also hope you can understand how doing that can make it look like you are trying to hide something. I'm hoping that it's just a matter of you wanting to sign your name with a nick your known as elsewhere, or something similar - if that's the case, I'd suggest using something like "[[User:Sillver Mountain]] (aka Longshanks)" instead, showing your 'alternate' nick without covering over your actual one here. - Pacula 14:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
