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.

This funny name I adopted about a year ago. Adopted in that it wasn't born by me. Rather my co-worker. He always said 'borgle' as sort of an announcement of his presence.

One day I said, "that'd make a great domain, I will register it." He said, "yeah right, whatever".

So just to spite him I registered it. And have used it as much as I could since then.
