I originally chose mine to be as anonymous as possible, while still exhibiting a little flair. (the ‘ye olde’ style of spelling forty). Actually, when I first signed up, I did so, so I’d be able to edit the time zone of posts’ time stamps. That was the main reason really. (they were, and still are by default pacific time, although I think one can change the time zone even without signing up now). I had no intention of posting anything. Boy was I wrong!
I now kind of wish I’d put a bit more thought into a screen name. It’s funny though every forum I’ve ever joined, the nickname I end up keeping/using the most is the one I put little thought into.
You found FR slightly addictive, then. As we all do!
