Libyan, I said in a previous post than RG told me his real name on the phone. He said he was Libyan / American and that his parents had moved back to Libya. During the conversation he said he anglicized his name for business purposes.
In the 2005 - 2007 days most of the GFCI traffic was on the Raging Bull GFCI board. If you care to check there for reference to RG's name, good luck. There have been about 11,500 GFCI posts on iHub. There have been over 47,000 on RB.
Maybe some other old timers will drop by and confirm that RG's real name was common knowledge. I do think we spelled his name "Giani"
