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.

If we're strangers and I added you as a contact, it's because you wrote a comment or asked a question that really resonated with me, and I thought you were likely to write more things like that. So I added you as a quick way to find your contributions again. Hope that's ok, and please don't be shy to let me know if you'd prefer not! And thanks for whatever insight you shared.
