"mxslick" : n. Nickname given by factory motocrosser to rider of an old 1978 YZ125 Yamaha; racing in 1989.

I got this from no other than Larry "Big Bird" [he was tall] Ward when he saw me riding the aforementioned bike at a long-gone local motocross track. He told my roommate that I was "slick" on that old piece of [expletive deleted].

It is also my email name at both hotmail.com and sbcglobal.net.

Oh, and I'll stick with this handle no matter what stupid things I may post, lol.

It such a pain to get a new birth certifacate and ss number I think I'll just keep my user name. The b is for Bennett.

I've always been TKB. Same in other forums.

Well my identity will remain behind my handle.

Roger

still got my name, even though appears going to be going back to work as a system operator looking at a puter monitoring the grid, but still read this and can spot the names changing myself, lol same kind of questions.....

I just use my real name just cause I did. I mean who could make up my name. Harold! Just kidding I see another Harold out there! My handle use to be Caper from the old days at *P* but when I was on Joe'T's baord we used our real names. I have nothing to regret about what I speak either, so, I guess I will still use it for now.

I first registered with my real name some years ago. Then one day I saw one of my customers on another forum asking questions about a bid I had given her. At that time I decided to re register with a handle. I just didn't feel comfortable knowing a customer could go online and see their electrician asking trade questions, some just wouldn't understand. The only thing I regret is when I re registered I lost my longtime member status.

When I joined in 2000, there was already "a Scott" (Scott35) here, so I took electure...a nickname given to me by the crew that I used to rant at about Safety and the Code.
They'd heard the term during the 2000 Presidential race, and started using it for my "soap box" discussions

I'm still electure (Scott). I might even have the record here for the highest # of incorrect answers in posts!. I'll face up to it though. I'm not going to change the name.

Scott35 (after his age at the time) is not still 35, though.

Iwire, of course that counts. Bobscott

BTW, Bjarney is also really named...well, you know

I am officialy changing my name to "The code geek formerly known as Ryan_J".

Fella's,
This wasn't a rant or anything, I was merely asking the question, why.
Electure,
So that's how Scott35 came up with his username.
Interesting!.
