Re: Maybe OT: What's in a 'name.'


 

You note that I use my name.? The email address has to do with my website and the Welsh (IIRC) word for fox.

Hi All:
This is not really about Tektronix scopes... but, it's about TekScopes.
I've been thinking about a thread, on the HP forum, a while back... about user-names... or the name we use in posts, or in the signature line.
As goofy as it is... I've always used my real name... well... because that's what we always did.
Lots of people posting still do... but, I see evermore posts with names as punctuation characters, Marvel comic book characters, and other obvious aliases and pseudonyms.
Anyway, I'm sure these monikers are not to hide people's identities... but to protect their identities... and there really cool sounding too: right?
So I'm wondering... can I call myself... Knorbutron, or Cphinktr, or... well any other name I've always felt was undignified.

Best regards and wishes.
