Well, if it just said hunger site would you have clicked through? :) The origin of user name is pretty funny. A few years ago a few of my SI buddies changed their aliases and hassled me to do the same but I really didn't want to. My 1st choice was "The SI member formerly....." but it was too many characters. I PMed SIBob to find out the max # of characters in an alias. He answered he didn't know. The next thing I know my alias became "012345678901234567890123456789", then Bob PMed me again and said "30" then my user named returned to Joe B. I'm not a fan of Prince's music but I have great respect for incredible talent. I just thought the name was a fun compromise of changing and not changing my name. My retired aunt and uncle who are visiting told me yesterday 40's the beginning of being old, so I'm still young for almost another 1000 days :)
