Just like to pass on that have changed my handle from **The Grim Reaper** , to the more sedate **mske**.

Now, everyone back to what you were doing…

Okay. 🙂

But will we ever find out what “mske” stands for? Or must we guess?

The real meaning behind **mske** is so boring it deserves no mention.

Maybe I could jazz it up for future tellings with a few WAGs (in MPSIMS perhaps so as not to tick off the mods). 😉

So please, let me hear those guesses!

I was going to pronounce it **mis-key** , but that’s not a reflection on you, but on my posting bane. 😃
