What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

My nickname comes from Andromeda Klein, by Frank Portman. It's a strange little book, destined for a small but loyal following. Once I get to know you for a bit, I can probably tell whether you'll be a member of ¨team Andromeda¨ or not. There's no reliable indicator--it's one of those ¨I'll know you when I meet you¨ things.
