Sure, until you find out I am extremely modest. I'm from the southeastern US, somewhere between johnson city, tennessee and butts county, georgia.

Actually this name was given to me. I took over an email account for Paul Westerberg when I had to go into hiding. Ugh Raines was the name. I just stuck with it. Supposedly, it is the name of a family, like the smiths.
Anyway, there's a certain mystery around that family involving mysticism. I won't go into that, but I will reveal how I got the name: I had a picture of me taken sitting in an electric chair, and the Replacements wrote a song about us. They stalked me down via the internet and told me, at work! I had no idea for 24 years that this picture had made it's way into the hands of a rock star. I was delighted. So, he gave me his email adress and forum addy to play around with, mostly to decieve his pals on the BBS. :rolleyes:
