Where does your user name come from?

Mine comes from the pseudonym used by the fictional detective Lemmy Caution (beloved by the French) in the great Jean-Luc Godard movie, "Alphaville."

In the interest of enhancing the mystery, a prize will be awarded to the best guess posted here (no fair telling, Craig). And if I really like it, I will adopt it as part of my persona, public and private.

Swampwalker, let me guess... with a name like that, you must be a wetlands/soil scientist (self-employed), making your living digging holes and tying little flags on trees. Did I guess right?!

As for mine, someone had already taken my name and given that I have a minimum of 8-10 different logins I use at work each day, I chose something completely different for Agon, a nickname given to me by a friend in high school. It is based on my first name Travis and the fact that he was an Elvis Costello fan.

I've always had a penchant for Russian/Eastern European women..."dorogoy" is Russian for "dear man," and 54 is for the year of my birth.

Some of my friends think I'm often grumpy and impatient with their lack of audio knowledge, so I almost picked "Van Alstine" as a nickname. (Apologies, Frank, but it has been written that the products are sweeter than the man!)

My user name is my initials. I know, what's so note worthy about that. Well when I was signing up for A'gon I ment to use the name Stereojunky but I put the name and initials in the wrong places and so I'm now known by my initials on A'gon. I know, kind of silly but I thought it was worth a chuckle......John
