During Christmas break (December 2004 - January 2005), I finally decided to sign up with snopes and had some discussions with my husband, who also signed up with snopes. We had already been living in the German-speaking part of Switzerland for a number of years.
He, being an electrical engineer, took some electrical name with the masculine definitive article in German, Der.
As I am female, I decided to use the female definitive article, Die (pronounced dee, not die).
And the electrical name started with Capacitor. But because I am female, I went with the -trix ending.
So I am Die Capacitrix. In previous searches I had found another one, which was a character in a webcomic. But the character was first mentioned in the webcomic after I had registered with snopes on January 3, 2005.
I am signed up with one other message board without the Die, but I am no longer active there. Any other Capacitrix is not me.
And my avator is McCaig’s Folly from Oban, which we had visited a few years previously. I had taken the picture using black and white film which was processed using color processing (T400CN).
