Etaoin Shrdlu, at last got behind the source of your name. Surprising and a nice machine on wikipedia but I guess it would be impolite to ask for the how and why of the choice. >> Answer: Dalehileman, I really hope it's not that obvious

-ron obvious damn! wish I had chosen monica. anyway, I just have always liked the whole etaoin shrdlu thing. it is also, apocryphally, the order of most usage in English, so throw the printing thing in with that, and it's just fun. I was actually surprised that it hadn't been taken when I joined here. that's all.

I remember you saying this in a thread about anagrams, acronyms and acrostichons. Nice to meet you again. You mean to say that a wise old woman and a mom can not be one and the same person? Are you not? How should I understand this? Sorry, I guess I misunderstood at first.(like often) You did all this before, maybe more than once.

oh yeah, this is a YART several times over. I tried to find the original, but it seems to be lost in the mists — not even the Wayback Machine could come up with it. (I did find the acronym acrostic thread, but that had a certain je ne sais quoi...)
