note TrekNoid Wow... what a great read! I just ran across this node, so I guess I'll be the latest to extend it's life <p> More years ago than I want to admit, a group of friends and I got *really* into a [http://www.vinton.com|Wil Vinton] animated character that used to advertize for Domino's Pizza called 'The Noid'.<p> So, we created monikers for ourselves that we put on the backs of T-shirts, each reflecting our hobbies... with an airbrush of The Noid on the front. All of the names ended with 'Noid'.<p> Me, being the Star Trek geek of the group, became TrekNoid.<p> Years later, we've all grown out-of-it, and that should have been the end of it... but about 13 years ago, I'm sitting at the AOL User Registration page, and it's asking me for a login that hasn't been taken yet... and after trying 50 or so things, I remember my old nickname, and give it a shot... And since then, it's just been my name in any online forum I go to.<p> TrekNoid 110166 110166
