My original name here was ‘Bullshirt’ I was here a while and then had a HD crash. I was ‘Bullshirt’ on all the old BBS systems before the internet was really happening, way before FR existed. so I used the same name. I also went by the nik ‘wildMan’ for a while on some of those old BBS systems, you know, the ones where you had to call up phone numbers to connect to their ‘bulletin board systems’ (BBS) that people would run on their personal computers before the internet made all that obsolete. Yes, I'm an oldtimer when it comes to computers. I think my very first sys was a TS-80 that really didn't do much. I also had a few Commodore 64s in the early days. If I remember correctly, my first modem was an 8 baud. Lol.

When I installed a new system after my HD crash I didn't realize I could contact the admin and get my old name and password from them. So I made a new FR perssona ‘Bullish’ back in '97

Which I remain to this day.

Well, Bullish sure fits, maybe bull-headed would be more accurate? :-)
