Yes Jan 31, 2018

But I don't reveal my middle name. And I am getting increasingly paranoid about what else I reveal.
I like the fact that it is a very common name, so I am still semi-anonymous.

I was going to say 'If you find me, what you see is what you get' ... but I am very conscious of the online image I present, and I try to keep private details private. I am a total hypocrite too - I pretend to be nice and kind, but you might get a surprise in real life!!

Angie is shortened, because my official name is too difficult especially for non Italians


You're making me curious.

My first real name is Angioletta I was tired of being called Angiolina, Agnoleta and so on (even by Italians) so I decided to shorten it

Edited because I wrote Riki instead of Ricky, forgiveme

I'm not cute! Jan 31, 2018

("I'm not cute" is a meme, not my actual reply)

Christine, same here. On the internet nobody knows I have pointy incisor teeth! On the other hand ...



dang.



Angie, "Ricki" isn't my real name anyway, so there is no fixed spelling for it. My real name is this lady: Regelind, and that is pretty damn weird - apart from the fact that she died about a thousand years ago, there's also a variety of apples named after her.

And I like "Angioletta", but if I addressed you by that name, I would feel like I was trying to chat you up

Real name and real picture Feb 2, 2018

I have learned in many years in the market that using your real name and your real picture is the right thing to do. Sorry, but those who use other names and other pictures are behind in the competition and are losing more clients than they are aware of.

Mario, and what exactly makes 'a real or serious business' for you, I wonder?

I don't do biz via Proz for I cooperate with local direct clients and don't need any missed-profits awareness. Furthermore, I really doubt that most ProZians can do $30K+ via ProZ only. Keep insightfully looking at the pics)
