Do you think that the Honus moniker is queer? I did not really think
about it but it is rather cute. I guess it could be a queer name. It
could be queer as in funny or queer as in bisexual.

Now that you mention it, the name is kind of queer. Thanks for
pointing that out.

Don't get your hopes up. It's queer as in unusual. And real names can
indicate sexual orientation in your book? I'm surprised at you. Or maybe I'm
not. Enigmatic, I know.

shrug Somehow, being called "gay" by r.r.s's version of the village idiot
just doesn't sting.

It's a long story, but I'll try and keep it short. Back in the old days,
when I called up a BBS for the very first time, I wasn't prepared when the
software asked me for a handle. I looked around my office for some sort of
inspiration, and lo and behold...my eyes fell upon some of my Honus Wagner
baseball cards that I had hanging on the wall. It was just a throw away
sort of thing, I thought, but then I made friends there who invited me to
other boards, and from there onto the Internet, and I just used the same old
name so that they would know me when I showed up. I've been using it for
nearly ten years now, it's almost like my own name since so many people know
me by it, and I kind of like being able to say that I've never posted to
Usenet under any other nym. That's it.

By the way...shame on you if you don't know who Honus Wagner was. Of course,
you -are- in Canada...so we'll let it slide.
