Why not? You could be your own evil twin, xeT_miT. :twisted:

The Mexican border is on the other side of the state. I could go to the other border created by a river and call myself Tim_OK though. Oklahoma is only 20 minutes away.

You've made a difference in my life. I've motivate me to start looking for a job of my own, wich I don't have, yet but I know I'll have one, soon. :)

Tim,

You're making a huge difference here.

Everyone knows you and (dare I say it) you're even more the voice of WP than Alex.

if you wanted to make more of a difference, you'd have to think about;

1. What type of differences you mean?
2. How would you measure whether or not you made a difference?

If you need to, maybe take a break from WP.

See if that helps.

We'll still be here when you get back.

Oh and the comments about a new alias is good too - don't kill your Tim Tex alias but consider a temporary less serious alias. There must be stronger subjects you'd like to post.

I keep saying that you seem like a good guy, and that I'm interested in geology and science and would be happy to discuss those things with you if you ever wanted to talk, but I'm ignored.

People come and go on this site as it fills a need for them, or fails to do so. You're always welcome to come back, as you feel the need.

If you feel a need to "re-invent" yourself, contact me or another moderator to make arrangements.

People cannot see themselves through their own eyes unless someone holds a mirror up for them.

Tim_Tex,

Feel free to take a rest from WP but I don't think that you should delete your account. You seem to be always adding something to a variety of topics...and welcoming the new members which i'm sure they appreciate.
Think about it, you have posted more than 10,000 times and since I have been here I have not seen anyone complain about you once. That must mean something, right?

You are a valued member here...so don't make any irrational decisions. If you leave, we will miss you, but ultimately it's your choice.
