Irish - as you said, different strokes... since I started really liking this board I had really begun to dislike the name I had chose from the get go, in the end it was a choice of trying to change it or to let the old one fade away and register a new one. Initially it was all about something that was "untraceable" (not that there is such a thing in the on-line world) and the more I have grown to like this place the more I wanted to move away from that...

Diva - Kim was kind enough to change it for me and that allowed me to keep the posting records intact... I kind of like it, as there is still a "trail" of former posts and comments, but a new name...

the name (as I mentioned in another thread) is one that I like due to my affinity for certain cartoon characters... the whole "Bloom County" and "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strips were a major part of my growing up and to date I still love the characters and stories...

the choice of the small little roach was an easy one... he was always getting into some form of trouble or another... it is also a moniker that I have used in the past (and will continue to use) as an on-line presence...

so there you have it...
