in reply to Name Space

I've not got a sound reason for choosing davis, other than I just like it. Unlike most people, it's got nothing to do with my real name or any literary characters. Some of the time (notably Yahoo!), i'll be davis65536, 'cos I needed a memorable number. Sorry to disappoint :)

    Strangely, when I first got here a couple of years ago, I seem to recall that davis (which is my last name) was taken, so I picked d4vis in a panic. Oh, how I rue the day!
    Maybe the first davis got wiped or purged.
    These days I pretty much go by st_davis, which are first initials_last name, but given the closeness to St. Davis, I think it'd be presumptuous to use it here unless I actully reach sainthood.

      My Apologies!
      I've only just spotted you in other users - until then I had no idea of anybody so similarly named.

      Is this going out live?
      No, Homer, very few cartoons are broadcast live - it's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist
