    Default AW: Username?

    Speed Metala Many years ago I was looking at a Air National Guard poster that showed a flight of F-16s and had the caption "Join a speed metal group."

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Xdeathfire came from when I played starcraft really seriously when it came out on b.net. I don't even remember where it came from, but I think it was after an argument with a friend...

    I changed my online names to TevashSzat when Guild Wars came out. It is I believe a former dragon planeswalker from the Magic the Gathering books if anyone knows them.

    In my younger days as an environmentalist, I attended a series of seminars as a panelist with a penchant for troubling the politicians on the panels with the odd fact or two. One of these esteemed gentlemen snapped at me that I was like Banquo's ghost at the feast - a rather irritating conscience best wished away.

    It stuck as a kind of professional nickname, often quoted in light-hearted introductions. I keep it as a nostalgic connection to a time when I actually made a difference.
