Easiest explanation is by way of illustration. I am a Unix System Administrator, and as a species we have been known to have slightly larger than average ego's . So "Rootus" is a short version of "Rootus Rootus".

Yeah, I PM'd Vib first, and then an admin directly. It's a bit of a chore, so I waited a while to ask, but I figure with 5000 posts I could justify it, so I don't have to start from scratch again.

Well with your 20 post per day average, it wouldn't take but a few weeks for you to get back to the 5000.

Don't you hate when people call you by your "screen name" when you put your freakin name down the bottom of each one of your posts?

Nice to hear from you again, Hairy...

Yes, I do... because everyone shortens it to just Hairy, and I did not forsee that .

i don't like "rootus" hairy, maybe you should have changed your name to "IllerCanary" cause that would have sounded good...like an old beastie boys song.

Nobody calls me by a name at all....

My names Aaron...where's that thread at anyway with the first names?
