Alright, my own collectSPACE handle is pretty boring--stemming obviously from the fact that my first name is David and my last name starts with H. Pretty creative, huh?

BUT--There are a bunch of people here with some really creative User ID's, that every time I see them I wonder, "What does that mean?"

You know who you are--so where does your handle come from?

I chose this handle for two reasons, well, actually three.

1. I think it's cool.

2. It was the name I suggested to the CSA when they had contest to name Canadarm II (never heard the results of that, and I think it still goes by Canadarm - anyone know?).

3. The lyrics of the Canadian National Anthem "...true North strong and free".

My user name stems from the fact that I have an ASTP collection that I exhibit at stamp shows around the country.

(Thanks, John, thought I'd seen this before, but couldn't find it again. Still, there've been some new ones show up in the past year, and some not explained last time around, so IMHO it's worth repeating--FabFiveFreddy, where are you?)

The Nessa were the Norse gods of the wind. Based on my field research (see History Channel documenary: http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=44007

Being a Norskie and doing wind research, I thought it appropriate. Dr. Clemmons

My user name...no my feet do not look like the hobbit's in Lord of the Rings...rather, I build custom Fuzz Pedals for guitarists (that they step on to activate). Hence, Fuzzfoot.

Best,

Simply my first name. Boring, ain't it ?
Though I must confess that on other forums I use the somewhat blasphemous screen name "gagarina" ...

I learned to scuba dive the same year that Apollo finally launched. Divemaster is one of my 12 certification levels.

Anyway, Ice Diver makes too many people cringe.

This is too boring to even tell. Just my initials and a date of small personal significance. I figured nobody else would have it. I've sometimes wished I had taken more time and come up with something more interesting.

space1 is the name of my web site. "space.com" was already taken in November 1996 when I was looking for a web site name. "space1" seemed the simplest alternative. I also use space1 as my ebay user name.

...Just a boring combination of my first, middle and last name.

Google "Tom Gwilym" and it seems that the first 1.5 pages is me! Yikes.

I need to get off the internet sometimes.

Howdy Ya'all!!! Space Cowboy here jawjackin' about my handle. Well I have ta tell yah, I'm a might bit partial to the Movie Space Cowboys,(and Apollo 13). Since I work as a law enforcement officer, I kinda added the x911 as my extension number. I also kinda like to think of it as a special tribute to those fallen hereos on 9-11.
I'm sure ya'all will be hearin more about me at the U.A.C.C. convention in Burbank.
I'll be the one with the now infamous, one of a kind "NASA" Space Cowboy Boots made by Texas boot maker,Rocky Carroll, "Boot Maker to the Stars" and signed by a number of astronauts, the last being James Lovell while he was at Novaspace Graphics.
Hope to be seein ya'all at the convention in September.

Take Care Now Ya Hear!!! Till then, hope yer havin fun ridin the space range!!

Space Cowboy x911

My original idea for an AOL user name was uzi9, named after my favorite handgun the UZI 9mm ( I collect handguns ), but it was taken, then I added an extra Z which was also taken.
After a few other tries I was going to add 1969, the year of the lunar landing...but at the suggestion of my wife I shortened it to 69 ( blush ). Hence uzzi69.
