What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

No nick. Just a quote for you all to ponder on for a moment.

Lyrics to Boards of Canada, One Very Important Thought:

Now that the show is over and we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights we would like to leave you with one very important thought. Sometime in the future you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a censorship case, or a so called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program. If you could be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you could be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionaly protected rights. No one else will do it for you.

I might piss you off. But I will never tell you to shut up in public. And if I do, please correct me.

Thanks.

PS - Hey, something else I should add. Currently, I've had 1 thread deleted from MeTa for GOOD REASONS. I bitched about #mefi inappropriately.

(hey, best to mention this here than have it come up again)
