    Re: What's behind your username?

    Mines a story full of endless nights of sweats and shakes, scared of failing to deliver, relentless and endless bongo playing, chanting, meditation, and "Dear Abby" letters, but eventually realizing that I would never find that "just right" feeling of fully capturing my sense of self, so thats when I became NotLKH.

    Perhaps it could have been something else, but, too late now!

    Re: What's behind your username?

    The story of my user name is dread tale of betrayal, rage, anguish and abandonment.

    My whole family was wiped out in the 12th century by Ghengis Khan and his warlike clansmen. Driven by this life changing event, I decided to become immortal and also take up programming as a hobby. So here I am, some 800 years later. I also invented the transistor and the wheel.

    I am not currently in councelling for my compulsive lying.
    I don't live here any more.

    If my user name was Goldfinger, Face to Face, The Bouncing Souls or Alkaline Trio you probably still wouldn't know who they were. I guess that's what happens when all you listen to is Britney Spears.

    about my nick ... actually it has some meaning in my native language but nothing especially ... The first that came to my mind

    Before the Internet, we used to pay to be on bulletin boards. Compuserve was charging $6/hr offpeak, and like $18/hr during the day. I found cheaper sites. Think I was paying $20/mo for unlimited access (but still tied up my phone line)
    At least it was a locall call, so it wasn't timed.

    Strange past experiences have given me the power to moderately control the flow of time around me... a useful ability in a fight, I assure you.
