SQOTD: Second Question of the Day by retiqlum2 2004-12-30 01:51:30
How did you choose your nick?

Some are easy to figure out, some are hard.

I'll start, I thought mine was easy:

reticulum (latin word for network) -> reti-Q-lum (think toys-backwards'R'-us-> retiQlum.

The two at the end of my name is an artifact of a server malfunction years ago that I didn't bother trying to get KickStart to fix.

So how did you arrive at your name?

For the record, as far as I am concerned, J.D. Frazer's proper name is 'Illiad.' The other name is simply something his parents gave him.
