When I created the name at The Rx I think originally it was I needed a forum name and didn't really give it much thought. Big Stones fan so why not?
Anyway I knew when RS originally formed Keith Richard was his stage name. I always thought that was his birth name but his manager urged him to use Richard instead of Richards. Keith later changed it back to Richards.
So I had it all wrong . Richards was birth name. I thought it was other way around so I thought Keith Richard was the proper name for me to use.
I think I have used this name almost exclusively since the 90s when the forums first started . I was never really a frequent poster . Too busy with life and work I guess. Sorry it wasn't a more interesting story Genie.
