Made Up Names?

Dear Victorious,

Are you making this stuff up? Some of these names seem rather vague.

Suspicious

Dear Suspicious,

You caught me. I do change the names. Incredibly, people will write me with their real name, e-mail address and other contact details. In some cases, I respond to them personally without posting it on the blog. When I do post it on the blog, I change the identity. Sorry if the signatures sound corny. If you're wondering, I also shorten the content of the letters from readers. I do that so I can get to their point quickly and spend more time on the answer than on the question.
