 At one point the Audiobus website had a problem logging users in with Google so I had to create a new account **@InfoCheck**. About 1/5 of my posts were under Paulinko and the rest were InfoCheck. I’m only using Paulinko for the wiki because I can’t login to the wiki with my InfoCheck account. My other musical online based identity is the PLU Collective named in honor of a friend who passed away from cancer a couple of years ago.

+I continue to struggle with dissension on the forum (my own situation independent of whatever transpires there) yet I’ll try to be respectful of others though I reserve the right to express my opinion in an appropriate manner. If you should catch me on a cranky day, I apologize in advance for my behavior. I prefer not to get into back and forth disagreements and try to give my opinion/POV and let others do the same.
