MetaFilter

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.

I am a Kiwi Fruit grower. My interests are History, computers, music, politics economics and middlebrow science fiction.
Is the Internet good or bad? more work insecurity but great to connect with people with common interests.
I still haven't mastered word wrap in my posts !
I have no Web site but I do use Facebook as it useful for my sons Scouts interest and snow skiing.
