I know this seems strange raising a very old thread (and how I dragged this from the memory banks I'll never know), however, I just noticed there's two very similar usernames registered on this forum. There's a 'DanB' (without a full stop) who's straight and a 'DanB.' (with a full stop) who's gay.
It's just I answered a post the other day where 'DanB.' (with the full stop) already has his PhD, but has a boyfriend who's writing up (and is asking boyfriend to get a job). There was the 'DanB' (without a full stop) who at the time of the below had a girlfriend. My distant memory of the latter had me scratching my head (was it the same person and had he come out). I guess this is the danger of very similar usernames. :-)
Anyway, mystery solved (I hope).
