This is my second name, but I wouldn’t likely have selected it if my original name had been taken. Maybe after a few more years, I’ll see if I can have my name changed again to something completely different. I’ve got a couple of ideas, but I’m sure as hell not going to share them now. ---

Another one with a Tolkien-derived user name – relating to “bad guys, but with magnificent names”. The Appendix to _Lord of the Rings_ mentions two joint captains of the Corsairs of Umbar, who gave grief to Gondor a millennium-plus before the time of the action of _LOTR_: Angamaitë and Sangahyando. I chose the second, to save having to mess around with “an accent over a letter”. ---

I consider the animal concerned, an extremely cool one – reckon it a great shame that it’s almost certainly extinct. ---

I had a different handle back in the mid to late 90’s. I even paid to be a member at the time. Then my life went off the rails, I went off the internet and when I came back, I couldn’t remember my password. So I set up this name. I’m kind of tired of it, though. I’d like to be **Amish Terrarium** or **MortalFoole**. Yes, Foole with a final “e” just to piss 'em off! ---
