James Robinton
Jim Robinton
Avoid Confusion
Please be aware that: in this age of the internet, employers and others often search the internet for potential job candidates. A popular author of fantasy fiction (Anne McCaffrey) in an effort to pay tribute to a friend George Robinson, changed one letter and named a character in her books "Robinton". She or her fans have created family trees around this popular character and as unlikely as it may sound, my name "James Robinton" is being used by some of them as their "Alias" username on various sites on the internet.
This has caused some problems, when trying to "validate" some of my own accounts, where I have received messages from the validator requesting that "I" use my real name (i.e. they are familiar with these characters). Also some of these people have registered in activities with and without overlap in my own interest areas.
