Thread: Choosing a Username on SRP

1. I don't think after all this time I would change my user name, though I have thought of other ones since joining that I ve used on other forums. There is only one other forum where I use RS, but it's a car forum.

2. As for what I was thinking way back when in 2009, I had just finished reading a really long book and like the character, hence my user name.

It's one of the main characters from, "Atlas Shrugged"(fiction) by Ayn Rand, Hank Rearden, owner of Rearden Steel...fascinating read, covers a huge spectrum of philosophies, spurned a movement of thought, and some consider Ayn Rand one of the most evil people ever to put pen to paper - worth reading, without a doubt.

I loved the book by the way, a great read!

yep. yep. I know. Still looking for an answer to the car forum. Enquiring minds want to know.

"RS" was just my abbreviated way of typing "ReardenSteel." As for the car, I drive what The Dead Milkmen call a "Bitchin Camaro."

I've posted it before but I was thinking GUrk GIggler.

In all fairness I thought about it later, after I got a 12" coticule, but I'm also really fast with the slurry and causality doesn't matter

Was easy for me I use the same ID on most forums. Have been for about 10 years according to wayback.com

I came up with "Phrank" as a sys admin type username in 1993, and just kept using it, it was a phonetic spelling, and since my name is Andrew, I figured it was fairly unique at the time, should've given it more thought when I signed up here in retrospect.

Atlas Shrugged is one of my personal fav's as well.
Given the book by a fellow tradesman years back because he said the philosophies reminded him of mine. I think it was a little insulting a reference.. hehe
I've been MikeB52 online ever since 1990. A nod to the bomber, not the shooter.
Original handle was N.R.Key, back in my online gaming days. But someone took that one over and I grew up a bit..
Cheers.
