Mine was my old MTSU ID... And when I registered on this forum WAAAY back in '06, I was only "wishing" to own a Crossfire. Since I was in no place at that time to purchase one, I figured the less personal info that was revealed in my screen name, the better.
But, I got snared into discussions, which led to relationships, which led to buying a Crossfire years later, which led to meets, which led to "family".
Changing my user name to John at this point would be pointless, since everyone knows me as JHM2K.
That's my story.
