pono only has 4 letters and 2 syllables. I'm sure you don't go around introducing yourself as "hi, I'm Richard Johnson Esq.". you  probably say "hi, I'm Richard or Dick" or some other shorter version of your full name.

As to the talent agency that represented me while I was studying design in L.A., whenever you join an organization like a talent agency or any kind of working agreement both parties come to terms of agreement. If you want to work together.

As far as DD refusing to reveal his identity is concerned that's just disingenuous. if you're going to get on a public forum for the purpose of chastising others for their beliefs, which have nothing whatsoever to fo with you in the first place, hiding behind a fake identity just makes everything you say and every point you try to make moot. why should anyone listen to a person who makes disparaging remarks about others behind a fake identity.

you and I may disagree Richard but at least you have the decency to use your real name.
