Damn! I completely forgot about that!
To get back on topic, the reason(s) I chose my username(s) was (so far):
1) God is part of my "real" name* and it seemed fun to utilise that fact. In the Other Place timidity had forbidden me to use it (although I did try it out at the dead of night once just to see if it would work) and so I had modified it with a suffix (sux etc, eventually nose). After getting here I couldn't think of an appropriate suffix and just went for the big one. What fun it was, too - and surprisingly enlightening!
2) God got a bit heavy, and Godot seemed appropriately pretentious.
3) Someone blew it out by going on about "waiting for me". Obviously I had little choice at that point but to change. I considered going back to God with a message saying "I have returned at last" but was not ready for that.
4) Basically I was telt it was time to add the final "go" to Godago.
5) Dunno yet, haven't decided. Can't stay with this one too long - makes my head jangle. - - - Oh yes I know. From something I read recently in a post. Think it'll do. Give it a try, anyhow!
*As a matter of fact, as I recall, it was my actual surname that I originally used when first subscribing to the HSS board.
