I still think of eta as being short for etaoin Me too. I still think of Buffalo as Eta. And I thought the big shoe was kinda quirky.

The only other interpretation for eta that I know is Estimated Time of Arrival; not exactly relevant here. So, R--the return of the big shoe (thanx for the reminder, olly!) would be fine with me. What did you do to change it--edit your preferences?
Edited typo. Grr.

I have been debating returning to my former moniker, but not sure if that wold only add to the confusion! I didn't know you back then...but a rose by any other name still smells as sweet (well you know that).

The deed was done when you moved to buffy. Everyone is already confused as to who Eta is. I can't even edit in peace anymore. Besides, as Candy said "a buffalo by any other name would smell just as sweet." Go on Eta. Change it back to Etaoin.

I don't know. Your new moniker seems apropos to me. (As the lyric goes: "Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy".)
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
