LOL now that is apt. The guys from IT design aren't always the best people to explain their designs either it would seem.
The sadness held within the sentence "We're no longer allowed to use the word 'real estate'" would drown the world entire with tears

I don't think the ban is so much the word real estate ( although that is clearly nonesense) but juxtaposing it with driving through the forum. The image I have is of Mods inside an American style house on wheels moving at a stately pace through an open space in Ancient Greece. Weird.

They can rename the black banner a Digital Spamdana
Which merges digital spy, spam and the subliminal visual of a bandana: encompassing the ethos of the Digital Spamdana into one fantastic phrase.
Have i passed the audition to work for them?

Hello again.

Now are you going to share the origins of your user name with us. That was the original premise of the thread although some 16,000 posts ago. I can't remember now how any of us came to have the names we have.
.
It was three years ago! I can't remember.

I think it's actually gobblegook

Apparently not. That was one thng I did learn in the early days of this thread. How many users would if given the chance change their names. May didn't realise what trouble it would get them in to!

Yes thats the snag with yours. Its hard to say in one's head and hard to spell no doubt. It helps to have a name you can pronounce and use because it halps conjure a real person from the words.

But its not unpretty. I have the image of someone Oriental - like a geisha or a Korean lady.

Mine is quite a long story. I found DS to get the Strictly spoilers. From there I discovered the BB forum and posted for a bit. Then I stopped watchign BB and it wasn't SCD season so I stopped posting.

Time passed and I got hooked into a new BB season after a few years absence. By then I had a new computer, new service provider, couldn't remember my password or user ID so I started again. Because I joined to discuss BB contestants and the way they behaved - Ie observing people develop and how they behave etc a name to do with the study of human beings seemed apt.

Unfortuantely most people imagine me to be male. A sort of bearded professor in a tweed jacket with patched elbows
