I always thought my name was obvious, but every once in awhile I have to explain it..."Seein' red"...Typical redhaired, freckle-face kid...It was also my wrestling name...

I've had a couple of people question it due to the fact that Republicans are considered "Red States", so I must be a Republican, but that it purely coincidental...

My porno name is cnpink...

Spencer Collins is not my real name "yet". It's part of my real name..
I have been using this name for so many years that I have started the legal process to make it legit.In many states just common usage of a name is enough to make it legal. I live in one of those states but I still have some paper work to file.

Mine is really boring. I made the ID on yahoo just after buying my first new car, a 2002 Subaru Forester. The number is just my house number.

I've never come up with anything better, so I have just used it wherever I go online.

I have had a number of people ask me about being a park ranger or a forestry, uh, person. I find that funny, because I am about as city as it gets.

Also, I guess the ID sounds sort of masculine, because most people assume I'm a guy when they first read something I've written.

I chose mine for the benefit of those who would have been confused had I chosen "nebbish".

Back in the original days of PC's and when I worked for a company that used computers I had time to read my favorite type of reading material. Science fantasy books. I read a great set of books written by Piers Anthony. It was called the "Adept" series. It was a series of books about two parallel worlds, one of the worlds was a "magical" one with wizards (color coded with the hero being the blue one), the other world was a scientific computer using world with "gamemasters". Well anyway The word "adept" is a fairly uncommon word with a good meaning and a positive type of title so as I read about the Blue Wizard and Stile (the gamemaster) who were at random times "swapping" lives I of course thought that "this could be me" and since they were both titled "Adepts" I imagined myself to be an Adept and since passwords need a number also I became the "Adept1". My vanity license plate reads the same. I heartily recommend that if you enjoy a great reading adventure to try out the "Apprentice Adept" series written by Piers Anthony as it impressed me enough that I was no longer a Hobbit, I was an Adept.

And since I'm on a book recommending jaunt I need to bring up the second most impressive "fantasy series" books I've ever read. "The Dragonriders Of Pern" by Anne Mccaffery. This set starts with a three book set and has expounded to about 10 -15 different aspects of the same story about a fantasy world where Dragons are "linked" at birth telepathically to their matched human. The dragons have the ability to "teleport" themselves and their rider and I promise you a thoroughly engrossing story with many different facets to entertain.

Dammit I wish I had the time to reread BOTH of these entire sets and then time to revisit Lord of the Rings and a few hundred other books for fun and a few hundred more for the educational value.

Well mine is short and sweet and to the point. My dog and I are a team. Barlo is the first syllable of each of our names combined.

And Forester--don't feel bad! Everybody but a handful of folks assumed I was a guy. I can't tell you how many times I got called the 6 letter F word on the old message boards. It used to crack me up.
