Removed! Not possible to lop off two letters? I have tried many times to register in the past. Not easy to do. As I noted above the reg process is
usually maxed out early in the day.
Thanks for the advice but maybe I will wait until I get a response from the Great Oz.
By the way SF I tried the e-mail you posted. Not recognized.
Sent a U2U instead. Hopefully it will get results
Happy day to you all.

Moreover, With the exception of this thread, I will refrain from additional posting or replying on other threads until this matter is resolved.
PS Tried unsuccessfully to edit the above post #8 to add this thought.

Motoged You must have seen Rowen Atkinson in his goofy movie
Mr Bean. He make a mockery of my name.

BB,
Yep...I knew what you were wanting to avoid  ....but Mr. Bean makes fun
of the situations he encounters and is "cut from a different bolt"....
I trust that you are infinitely more socially gracious and less of a klutz......if not, so what?
Welcome aboard.....may you enjoy the ride here 
Don't believe everything you think....

BB, I am sorry others are pressuring you already... the politically correct crowd is really vocal on the Internet, behind a keyboard. Most of the
Nomads you may meet in person are great people. I would say 90% or more are super nice, normal folks you can easily spend time with (you met Shari,
right, isn't she fantastic?). I have met many as I used to host Baja get-togethers and off road trips.
The few who post a lot, but you will never see a photo of them having fun, are the ones who like to harass. Because I am the longest active Nomad,
with the most posts, I am a target by those few, plus they know my political leanings are not shared by them, and they would like to silence me, like
talk radio and Fox News... LOL!
As for changing your handle, if you are not comfortable with it anymore, that can be done by Doug ('BajaNomad') who runs this site. I will send him a
note for you... we are friends and I try and help when I can.

Thanks for the welcome motoged. I am not really so thin skinned as to be insulted by being called Mr Bean. Sometimes it gets a laugh. Used it on a
US Border agent when crossing a few years back. He actually smiled. Will wonders never cease.

Thanks David I too have political leanings but choose to keep them to myself, along with my religious beliefs. "A man convinced against his will is
of the same opinion still" Wish I knew who I was quoting.

Thanks for the welcomes basautter and desertcpl. I hope to be a positive poster here, therefore I will not get involved in a flaming session with
anyone. Best to remain quiet if you have nothing good to say.
But hey, if that is your forte, flame on. It can be entertaining.

Once you get your handle edited... then you can look for an avatar, just make sure it fits the limits of the forum page (see FAQ at top).
Posting photos here is a trick for some and easy for most. Nomad has a limit of 800 pixels in width, otherwise a bigger photo distorts the whole page
and makes viewing and reading annoying for those on standard monitors. Most of us use Photobucket.com to host our baja maps and photos. When you
upload to Photobucket, first select the upload size to 800 or 640 pixels (full and large on Nomad)... and that is easily done by clicking the little
gear symbol that appears in the corner when you click Upload.
If your photos aren't too big in file size (250 KB), you can attach them onto Nomad direct from your PC.
Anyway, you will get the hang of things, I hope! Don't be afraid to ask... and u2u (private message system) if you want to ask off the page.

Very skillful sidestep. You catch on fast!
My earlier post was just a Google which reveals what I already knew; that "Beaner" is a derogatory word towards Hispanics; particularly Mexicans. It
is just information for you to use when considering whether to keep the name or not. That is certainly your choice!
I can be "Politically correct" when I see people hurt by racist bigots. That is not the case here, with you. You are NOT a racist and you probably
have not hurt anyone in BajaNomad.
You appear to be a considerate, well meaning guy. Your chosen name on this forum does not offend me personally. I am not Mexican. I just want you to
know it's connotation and context. You certainly should not use that word to and around Mexicans in this country or in Mexico. It could get you hurt
or killed. It is like going to an inner city ghetto (hood) and using the N word.
Now you are in possession of different philosophies from Nomads on the matter. Do with them what you will.
Welcome from me without reservation!

BB,
As you have been welcomed by some Nomads and warned by at least one of the horrors of "progressive" Nomads...here are a few pics of four Nomads having
fun:
Willy Airstream polishing his gem:
DT Bushpilot checking in w/ his better half:
Me in La Purisma....having fun:
Shari (Bahia Asuncion) and DT....having fun talking:
I trust that these Nomads won't mind me sharing these pics.....
No pics of me around a campfire....but assuming a posture sometimes taken by a campfire (again, I am having fun...):

Beaner
As one who also considers ones self to be a beaner ,welcome to the forum and stop with the PC paranoia as many Mexican peoples , whom also love beans
, call themselves a frijolero
There is nothing wrong with the term and it only conveys love for the lentil

BajaBeaner, fellow BB, i'm sure I've insulted every Buddhist on the forum because I am DaBuddha because I have a protuberant tummy (as in, ''Rasca El
Budda Por Suerte!" or if not, besa mi cu.... never mind). Joke 'em if they can't take a .... never mind.
Be who ya gotta be. Do what ya gotta do. What was it the Bard said? "This above all things........."
If it's good for your wife and good for your dog, Fuggemall. And 'dis is still on St. Paddy's Day.
Frum Da Part-Irish-Buddha Oooohhhmmmmmygodicantbeliveallthiscrap 
However, if you HAVE to flip, u2u bajanomad, and that would be your quickest access to Doug The Omnipresent, and he'll do what you request. No extra
charge.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
