How did you come up with your username?

diffsoft · 8th April 2008, 07:09

I used to run a company called "diffsoft" that shut down about 4 years ago. I found that this username is usually available for any registration - so all my registrations have username diffsoft - makes it easy to remember.

Cheers,

Mine is straight forward - first name + last name - Wonder why I kept it simple?

But then I tried a little creativity with the tagline !!

The first sports car I was inspired and came across was Dodge Viper SRT, Its 8 liter engine and the capacity to beat a F-16 in the close race made it my dream car. I know now that there better ones but its my first love.

Got a chance to check out the red Flying Spur in Mumbai owned by RNA soon after the owner got it. An acquaintance of my father. Fell in love with the car and has been my favourite since, atleast from the RR-MM-Bentley circle. Thus, flyingspur.

I use this username when I join new forums whose privacy rules are not fully known to me. The email associated with this username is derived from the fact that it "attracts" all junk/spam email. This is the username and email combination that I hand out to all tom, dick, and harry, who wish to write to me. This protects my "real" emails from being swamped with spam.

Anyways, it also happens to be (mostly) unique.
