User names
There are some interesting user names being used and it might be interesting to know why or how you picked yours .
Being new to forums I guess I didn`t give it much thought so yep , boring I know , but it`s my name ( at least that`s the one I can use in public the wife calls me )

As you get older , it becomes less confusing that way as well (& you can always look inside your shirt collar if you forget )

Yet you can cash a money order under that name. You did cash the one I sent for the carbon work you did?
Re: User names
Madmax was my player name back 10 years ago when me and some mates use to play computer games. Afterwards I started to use it for forums I visit, such as here.

Re: User names
Used to go by the tag of Kaz or skb-kaz in my heavy gaming days (skb was short for sneaky knifing bastard :-)). Found it harder to use my tag due to there being so many others of similar vein. Changed to Four40 mainly because the band (Apollo 440) Always had a thing for the drum n bass scene and see the two live drummers in Apollo 440 film clip, Not that my music tastes are restricted to a genre.

Re: User names
Mine "Reardo" comes from Reardon my last name. I'm not the only one known by it around this way, most of the males from that side of my big family are Reardo's. When people talk about a Reardo around here. It's, the Reardo that played footy for West (me). The Reardo that owned the pub (My uncle) The miner (Dad) etc, etc, etc....
Re: User names
Mine means a choice bit of female anatomy in another language
Used to have a real prick of a cat (how long did it take you to do the math) that we used this for his name so I carried it on.

Re: User names
I had a boring name (my name) then 2wa inspired me.
I had a motorcycle before and now I'm re-cycled
Your avatar is too distracting, Reardo it makes me think of Physics.

Funny thing is I was always called Vinny ( made up from last name )when I was younger so I could have used that ( the same old friends still call me that now)

Re: User names
Kaupy is what I've always been called, Kaup being my last name, apart from where I used to work. There they called me Schulze because I got sick of them pestering me for my advice so I told them, I know nothing!
