Who knew the answer to life, the universe and everything would turn out to be so simple? And here we are discussing whether gates actually exist or not! ;D

EDIT:

I did it again - wrong forum, different username so original post irrelevant.  I'm getting old.

I'm wary of people who speak like that. Sounds manipulative.
Me, I quite simply disagree. People are to be treated by you as well as they deserve according to you, and that's that.  8)

Yep, I would think so.

To be honest I had no idea what to use as a name, so I just used what first popped into my head.

Basicly:

Hmmmm, what do I like...history. And I'm sorta geek...Yeah, good enough.

...the next choise would have been freak, but meh...

This should be an interesting topic, I hope.

So, what does your username mean?


I myself am not creative with names, the xs are to put some balance the name on either side and give it some  symmetry. I like the word  Silver more than I like the colour, metal or any qualities associated with it, so in the username it goes. Phin or Phinx, as some see it, is a secret. It can mean different things to different people. Muahaha.  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/devil.gif" alt=":devil:" title="devil" />

I'm not terribly creative when it comes to screen names either. Earthling comes from a website I had years ago . . . lets just say that I read the application to man in a book. At the time David Bowie had out the Earthling CD and, though not a big fan of Bowie I liked the cover art so much that when a friend played me the CD I really liked it, and bought a copy.

Ildiko

I was a huge fan of Bowie, back in the day when both he and I were young.  Earthling is an excellent name.

I suspect the fact that Attila and I were both banned when I joined, because we share an IP number (among other things), has outed us as a couple. Ildiko was Attila the Hun's last wife - young and gorgeous, like me - and suffice it to say he didn't survive the wedding night.  Though not for the reason one might expect. ;D

Thanks, Ildiko. When I was a kid I had the Diamond Dogs album and was crazy about it. Later Lets Dance and then Earthling. For some reason I never got into the rest of it.

Ildiko. Hungarian female name meaning fierce warrior. That's a good name.

I can't log in with John Jones so I logged in with jOnesboy. That sums up my itinerancy.

xm1

Mine is just a derivative of a derivative of various usernames i cycle through depending on the purpose.  I use xm1 or variations of it on forums dealing with either atheism, paranormal, escorting, porn, dating, or whatever.  It means nothing and as a general rule I do not create connections between it and my facebook or gaming accounts.
