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.

Parent. Editor. Lover of MeFi and all of its wonderful angry, happy, smart, engaged users. And moderators. Most of all, Matt, of course. This is where I go when I want intelligent, diverse, thoughtful posts.
Nickname originates in the old newspaper world of LinoType operators.
