Misstee: B

Roger Thornhill: A

Swampbear: B

Gouda: B

Silver Fire: A

Aesiron: I’ll settle on C

Angua: C as well. I still remember talking to you on ICQ and saying something like “Oh wow, astronomy? Is any of that stuff used for space research?” And you said “Like what?” And I answered “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe Seti.”  
Recently I came across a thread where you complained about people who are so silly to think that Astronomy might be linked to Seti. Whoops, he he. Well, at least the shock value of that got me a C in return 🙂 Oh and I’m back in Germany, after a fabulous time in Canada - it’s such a great country and I’ll definitely go back there.

**Optihut**  
I have seen your name, but I don’t \* know \* you, so I am going to go with a a/b- more b and a though.

[aside] I almost typed your name OptihuG [/aside]

**Misstee** is a B+. She visits a lot of the same threads, and we’ve agreed on a number of topics, but I don’t _know her_ know her. 😉

But she seems nice.

> B for **Standup Karmic** , but a strong B. I’ve seen you in quite a few threads, and although I can’t remember exactly why, I seem to recall that I like you. Aren’t you an English teacher?

Color me blushed. No, I’m not an English teacher, though I did recently ask for some advice about volunteering to tutor basic literacy skills. And I was in the “for the love of all that is good and holy, cut your hair” camp.

**misstee** , you are a ‘B’ in my books. I’ve seen you quite a number of place (though not so frequently as to be concerned that you might be following me).

**roger thornhill** and **swampbear** , you are also both 'B’s, though I’d say I know the names somewhat less than **misstee**.

**Optihut** , I’ve never heard of you in my life. Not even in passing. Why, I don’t believe I’ve even seen your name in any baby-naming books.

Gee…I wish I had some 'C’s. I don’t think there’s anyone here that I could attach a ‘C’ to. Now I feel sad and lonely. _Won’t someone be my friend?_

Oh, and on preview - **Chastain86** …_sigh_ … “A”

\*\*Standup Karmic \*\* - Gets a “B” - I remember the name, because I really like it.

\*\*Chastain86 \*\* - A strong “B” - We have defiled the same threads on numerous occasions, methinks. 😃

\*\*roger thornhill \*\* - A “B” - We were in several threads together recently.

\*\*swampbear \*\* - “B+/A-” - Anyone who reads **Rue** ’s MMP knows way more than they want to know about **swampy**!

**A** is for **Antigen**. Where have you been all my life?

**silenus** is an **A/B**. I know I’ve seen the name, because for some reason it makes me think of a CD of chanting monks. 😕 But I don’t know where I’ve seen the name.

**Standup Karmic** – great name, making a solid **B** for memorability.

I know nothing about **Chastain86** , but the name seems oddly familiar. I think I may be confusing you with [Brandi Chastain](http://www.womensoccer.com/biogs/chastain.html). I guess that makes you an **A/B** , unless you are Brandi, in which case you get a **C**. 😃

I do believe I have to go with A+/B- here. Your name looks familiar, **LilyoftheValley** , but it could just be that I have church hymns in my head. Never know.

**Aesiron** is between B and C, but with a pronounced lean towards C.

I’m thinking either my memory (which is indeed very good) is a lot better than I give myself credit for, or I spend way too much time on these boards. Everyone is still a B. There are a few Cish people along the way, but I’m not confident enough in my accuracy to say C so we’ll just stick with B.

Except I _do_ know that **Bruce\_Daddy’s** band at least considered, if not actually used, the name “Chicken Coop Hothouse” for a name.

B is for **TellMeI’mNotCrazy**

I’ve seen the name around, and that’s about it.

I’ll start taking notes.
