But I’ll be back. I’ve decided to change my user name. Apparently this requires that I close off my registration with this board. I’ll be working sixteen hour shifts for the next three days, so this is a good time to take a break. I haven’t completely decided what the new username will be, but I’ll announce it with sufficient fanfare when I do. Damn, and I almost had a thousand posts. ---

Awww c’mon, it’s not all bad being unmentioned in the \_\_\_\_\_\_ posters threads. It means that you don’t even have to bother reading them. Besides Bug Vomit just doesn’t fit ya’. ---

Oh, dang, I hate tests. Well, your style and outlook is distinctive so at least that isn’t lost. But gotta say I’m _highly_ cheesed off that we’re losing a poster-identity that was a dead ringer for RinTinTin. Hey, what about Sky King?! Veb ---

That’s right. I am not Bug Vomit. Nor am I worm snot, cockroach phlegm, or any other form of invertebrate bodily fluid. I am a human being. Anyway, in answer to over a half-dozen of responses to this thread, here’s the new user name: Little Nemo. Let me know what you think. Little Nemo (aka Mike King) ---
