Since I've been online since the early 80's I've signed off every post, everywhere I was at different sites, as Carolyn. Yes, Dr. Carolyn was how I was known when I was teaching and doing research, but that was my professional life.
My private life was not as Dr. Carolyn, so I hope in the future that you and others would please refer to me as Carolyn.
