I'm posting for the first time. I have been reading your posts for awhile now and am fascinated by your monikers.
Would anyone care to share, if not personal, why they chose their particular user name?
I chose ABC because it's generic.
Also because it seemed to fit what it's all about here.
I'm a basic type person.

Well, I'll start. I stole the name of a person who's someday going to be known as the foremost punster of the 21st century. The E in TEd was a fumblefinger that cannot now be reversed.

Hello, hello, ABC.

My name is a combination of "Spartan" and "Buckeye," the nicknames of my colleges, making a not-especially-appropriate nom de keyboard for this board, but an apropos one for the sports boards I haunt.

Welcome aboard ABC - greetings from sunny Perth, Western Australia. To answer your question.........

Your surname is Staley. You are known to everybody as stales. You have no choice.

BTW everybody, the anagram generator at the "front" of this site is a lot of fun for generating handles - no doubt you've all tried it? (http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html for those that didn't know.) I become LARGE_OYSTER or GORSE_REALTY, among others!!

Dear ABC: I am so original yet so modest (bashful icon) that I used my initials wwh which expand to William Woodbridge (aka Woodenhead) Hunt

Some of the experienced hands around here may tell you this is a YART, but it seems to be bringing some new folks onto the board, which is nice.

My name is the name of a genus of a kind of tree frog. I had to pick an online name at one point, and had recently acquired a few tree frogs as pets for my son, and just liked the way Hyla sounded.

Ah, do we have a preponderance of gentlemen here?
Remington...any relation to the wonderful western painter, Frederick Remington? For those of you not American, his work of the wild west is extroadinary!
So, sports buffs abound, and Kermits, as well as international posters.
I shall enjoy this interesting group!

Welcome aBoard, ABC!
My name is less imaginative than a doctor bill--just my name.

Now--as to your question, my dear: there may be a preponderance of male subscribers here, but I'm not sure any of them are gentlemen! [running for her life emoticon] Yippee!

My handle is kind of basic, I guess: I have long hair. It's as long as my arms. And they're pretty long.
