    But...but....I think it should be "Eriksson" with 2 "s" because IIRC it means "Erik's son" like "the son of Erik".
    Besides, the old name was better, I'm conservative...

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Another one bites the dust.

    RIP faisal.

    I know it shouldn't matter, but to twist the popular saying, "a rose by any other name confuses the heck out of me." Half the Org patrons I know I don't recognize anymore. Their original nickname is their "face" here on the forums. New name = new face and thus one I don't recognize. Anyway, enjoy you new name Leet.

    "Change" is good they say, so this was mine. -->

    Well if it'll make you feel any better, Gregoshi, my name will always remain the same. I'm too lazy to change it....in addition to which I'm also too much of a Trekkie.

    @Leet Eriksson: Congrats on your name change, bud. Just don't hold it against me if I still accidentally call you faisal from time to time.

    I have to keep coming to the Watchtower to keep up with all these 'new' members who suddenly appear with 3000+ posts.

    I'm with Greg on this....must be a fogie thing!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
