Where does your user name come from?

When I was in college I was in a grunge/punk cover band. Yes we wore flannel. Yes it's embarrassing now. Anyhow, our band was called "Splotch", for some forgettable reason. I created a bunch of flyers for a gig at my fraternity using Harvard GRaphics (any geeks remember that?). I picked a bizarre font. My roomate saw the flyer and said "Who the f*** is 'Sdatch' and why is he here on Saturday night?" And the rest is history...

Mine is from my company,Null Systems

When the arpa net started I used to be bell until Bell Labs became a host, then I was dbell, and remained so throughout my career. I need a user name that I can remember, but db and donbell are usually not available when I apply; dbphd usually is, but not in the case of Audiogon.

I would like to change my user name to db93108 (my ZIP code), and I don't understand why Audiogon doesn't permit such a change.

The theory of entropy says that things move from order to disorder. If this is true them we must all be "entropes".

Cool,long running thread. My user name sounds like I stuck a number in front of my name to differentiate from others of the same name, but the "50" actually means FIVE-OH, as in Ford Mustang 5.0L. The other crazy hobby that is a blackhole for hard earned dollars. :)
