Yes....hmm....I suppose I wouldn't know
*anything* about that...;-)...usually I use the
name MatsKralc when I sign up for anything.
There's a story behind it stemming from a play
a buddy of mine wrote in 8th grade in which he
took all of his friends, altered their names, and
put them in the play. My real name (Matt Clark)
became Mats Kralc, to go along with the fact
that my character was a Swedish ex-kickboxer.
I thought the name Mats Kralc sounded cool,
so I decided to use it everywhere when I sign
up for stuff, since I know nobody would have
used it before me. But when I came here, I
thought I'd change it up a little and go with my
real name. Hrmph.
