Gotcha! And the "01" means that the self-esteem moved with you...

Of course. Cheers.

Mine was the univeral password for our now obsolete field workstations, though when I signed up at SRP I forgot to capitalize it: ThisIsCLog. Now it looks like "this is clog" instead of " this is c log"

My dad is about your age, and luckily doesn't like razors, thus I am using my grandpa's...

Dave is my first name.

Chopper you might ask...
When I was a young teenager, my uncle owned a Harley Davidson dealership in St. Louis, MO. I used to take totaled bikes, if the frame was still straight and cobble together choppers. Back then you couldn't buy stretched and raked frames, all you could do was weld extensions on the front forks. That made for some very interesting bikes, and very difficult bikes to ride at parking lot speeds. So I would chop up wrecked bikes and make choppers out of em. Since I was only thirteen, the shops mechanics were happy to help me and teach me. Pretty soon folks started calling me ChopperDave.

Let me spin you a story about the turn of the century.

It was back in the early days, when the internet was an adolescent. There was flash & freeware & shareware & viruses still. The closest thing to social media was AIM, forums, and chat rooms.

Much of the usable internet that wasn't a company's website displaying their wares & how to get ahold of them was on a "for pay" basis. Chat rooms & email included.

When I hit 13, a major email provider came along with access to free email. Computers were the wave of the future, so I went about deciding on an online handle to go by.

Cut to the chase. I'm a fan of Spider-Man. A buddy was already going by "Doppelganger", and I found things like "webslinger" & "wall-crawler" too obvious.

So I chose Crawler. And I added three random numbers tacked on the end to to give me a unique identifier.
