Why would someone single YOU out to impersonate? There are many aliases out there to impersonate, why you? And why would someone impersonate someone else when it's quite easy to establish an alias on this site using a junk e-mail address and false information?
I'm just curious who and why someone would single only you out to impersonate and why someone would impersonate anyone at all to begin with.....just doesn't add up or make sense.

You will have to ask them that question southernpumpkins. Personally I feel that it is a form of harassment. As I am sure that it was meant to be. No biggie. But really kind of distasteful.

Tremor has worked at all of them. The name of my previous boat. Taken from pearl jam's VITOLOGY album.

Cool thread here blackcloud.

For the record, I doubt anyone could log on using a handle that is already taken. Thus the need for pseudonames in the first place (usually).

Tiller

Sequim, WA

Tiller, because at the time I had to pick a handle I had just spent a lot of time fixing mine and then using it. And my back was hurting, because of the tiller. So when I was filling things out, I was thinking *#@^!!!! tiller, but that was too long. And several times a year, that's what I'm doing. So it sort of makes me a tiller, of soil. By the way mine is an old (early 70's) Sears five horse front tine. Beats me up, gets the job done. Chris Michalec

Stunner

Bristol, ME ([email protected])

I went through about 10 different names way back 7 or 8 years ago but I've never really seen anyone use stunner812.
The name actually originated when I was running, of all things, a wrestling newsboard that got like 20,000 hits a day.....Hey don't laugh, it was quite something to watch your visitor numbers increase exponentially. The name just kinda traveled through time with me and now all we want to do is Stun the masses with bigpumpkins.

Actually my name is a derivative of the Chicata Indian word for "milk". I chose it because I firmly believe in feeding my pumpkins milk and I've always wanted to be an Indian (Native American to those on the left coast and up north). When I'm not growing pumpkins I like to go on winter baby seal clubbing expeditions. I work for a local garage dumping barrels of used motor oil into rivers and streams.

I remember this thread last time and I remember taking issue with John's (5150) name above. Since I know him better now I think I can get away with a little more ribbing:) I cannot argue that Van Halen may be the best rock group of all time....pre-Hagar that is. Don't get me wrong...I like Sammy. It's just that I can name a bunch of albums better than 5150. I think John needs to change his name to "Diver Down" or possibly "1".

Van Halen is so much more than just Sammy, Dave and Gary. 5150 was a pinicle album that showed the world that the greatest rock band ever could still concour the free world even with a new singer. :) That and you gotta love the red, black and white striped Kramer guitar! I have looked at other names, for example my boat is called "fair warning" 5150 just stuck.

shazzy

Joliet, IL

my last name is shenoha and i used to play middle linebacker
across from a friend learning to play quarterback in high school. he could never remember the hole numbers and
while setting up over the center in practice, he would whisper across the line to me, shenoha where is the 2 hole?
i would point my eyes to the hole he would ask about and then he would run the play. i didn't care cuz i always
knew where the play would be going and make big hits.
somewhere in the mix shenoha became too obvious and he started whispering "shaz" where is the 3 hole? before
i knew it my nickname was shaz or shazzy from there on
and now my mom is the only one who calls me by my first name, jeff.
