You will fit in here just fine. If names were assigned to people I am sure you would have to settle for Arschloch214 or so. They gave me trouble for my name too, Dan Glerb.

BTW sense of humor is in another forum I think.

Greets Dave,

Dave, welcome to the shark asylum!

There are some who hang out in OT with seemingly innocuous screen names who are *very* offensive to many people. IMHO, if you are a nice guy and an asset to the community I couldn't give a rat's a$$ what screen name you choose. I find the name you chose mildly amusing, but it seems it may not be the favorite of some native German-speaking members.

I've been thinking of a name change myself...to protect the innocent.

That must relate to me...

Well, I'm not offended - I just think it's vulgar, tasteless, and sends the wrong message. I hope we won't drop to that level here.

Besides, if we ever get to meet our new friend, this could lead to some strange situations:

D: "Hello, I'm Dave"
N: "Hi Dave, I'm Nicole, nice to meet you! Are you on rennlist?"
D: "Yes, I am"
N: "So what's your screen name?"
D: "Ar$chloch!"
N: "What did I do to be called that? I just wanted to know your screen name."
D: "I just told you!"
N: "No, you just insulted me!"
D: "I'm the Ar$chloch"
N: <ewww> "You are? And why would I want anything to do with someone who openly refers to himself as someone nasty who I should not trust?"
D: <Hmmm... maybe I should change my screen name, because actually I think I'm a nice guy, and maybe my misguided joke makes me miss out on some helpful contacts in the 928 community...>

Where can I find that manual? Does it have more than one paragraph to read? If not, you can just post it here...

Somehow I don't think the new name will be as much fun.

Now I'm curious: How did yours come about?

It reads "dangler b" to me. What is dangling, and what does the "b" stand for?

It'll be OK. You won't be erased... Just get some sleep.

Nicole, I tried to phrase that carefully so you would *not* feel singled out, and to indicate that others besides you might have a problem with it.

I don't know, I kinda like you screen name now that I know what it means. I'm not as creative so mine is pretty straight forward.
You now have history.
