For some reason, I had the name 'Slartibartfast' running through my head repeatedly, this morning. A couple of hours later I happened to look at the top of the front page of the ASW boards, and guess who the newest registered member was?

You've become so involved with the boards that you're beginning to have premonitions about them! I guess we're going to have to make you a moderator soon...

Heh- somebody on the boards has the name 'Yamamanama' or something. Imagine typing that out every time you post?

Ody- Love that smiley!

Now wait a minute...Slartibartfast and you have very similar e-mail addresses... Posted Image

Seriously, maybe you saw it the evening before or something and didn't realize it. Or perhaps you're just paranoid.

I was wondering one day why so few members had "the" at the beginning of their name. That lead to thinking about how unique my name is.

I went to the main page and saw that someone by the name of "TheDragon" had just registered. Posted Image
