Hmmmmm, your mail reader must work differently than mine.  Most mail I get
has both the account name and the real name.

Anyway, I am catalyst [at] pacifier.com, I being John Gear, chief cook and 
bottle
washer at Catalyst Consulting Services, a one-person business and operations
management consulting practice I started in Vancouver WA (once I figured out
that I was spending 90% of my time on these tasks although only being paid
as a lead technical writer/editor).

My dream is to run Catalyst out of my house in a cohousing community and
specialize in helping "alternative" groups (cohousing communities, social
change groups, and other nonprofits) get the benefits of what conventional
businesses *do* know without having to acquire all the other characteristics
portrayed *so* accurately in "Dilbert."
