How did you select your (new?) Forum Name?????
With some new faces here - and many new, or revised names, how did you come up with yours?
My old name I had used on forums since 2001, was *89x2* and that came about because I had bought my second 1989. With more Corvette coming into my life over the mast few years, I thought I was appropriate to come up with something else. The new one should be self-explanatory...

Re: How did you select your (new?) Forum Name?????
I had this really original idea of going with *91x2*, but decided to stick with my standard.
I got into the habit when I joined my current employer in 1991 and entered a world where everybody lived and breathed email, to the point where we even sometimes addressed each other verbally by email alais instead of by name. 'jonstr' was the email alias I ended up with ,and by the time the Internet started being used so pervasively, it was just force of habit.

but now I remember talking to you about these Callaway portfolio's in the time you were searching for a car so were already registered to the board.

Re: How did you select your (new?) Forum Name?????
Brangeta is a name I made up when I was a huge Dragonball Z fan in highschool. It's Brandon + Vegeta = Brangeta
Most people pronounce it as Bran-get-a since that's how it looks. If I could do it all over again (rename myself EVERYWHERE, not just here) it would have been smarter to go with a more Japanese spelling: Branjita so the pronunciation would be right.

I'm surprised I'm not the only one! It's a great show! Dragon Ball is even better than DBZ.
