How did you settle on it, and what significance or meaning does it have for you?
In the late eighties and early nineties, my handle was Proginoskes, after a character in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wind in the Door. Just before I got out of college, I changed it to Scrivener--it seemed more in keeping with who I'd become online.
In the days before photocopiers, legal documents that had to be duplicated were hand-copied by people called scriveners. Literally, a scrivener is someone who writes. I took the name from Herman Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener, a story I hate but a title I love.
So where'd you get yours?

I happened to see part of a routine by Larry The Cable Guy the other day, and he was talking about Viagra and Cialis, and about their ads talking about having a stiffie (as the Australians call it) for four hours.
Larry said "Four hours?! What do you do with the other 3 hours and 56 minutes?"

I saw it at the bottom of the main page, mere moments before my earlier post. It was in the section (right above Today's Birthdays) that right at this moment includes this:
So perhaps Pfizer Viagra changed their screen name to Bayani, or perhaps it just takes a little while for a new member to appear on the Members List, or... well, I dunno what other "or" there might be. Mayhaps a moderator can 'splain it to us, Lucy?
And in any event, don'tcha all kinda wonder what Pfizer Viagra's avatar would be?!?
Well, I still don't see "Pfizer Viagra" on the members list (just now checked, out of idle curiosity), but in looking at the bottom of the home page just now I find this:
I'm new here. Just wanted to say thanks to Ryan for letting me in the group (finally!)
My HT name: kanahina, is just my two kids names cut short and stuck together... My son is Makana and my daughter is Mahina... Makana = kana, Mahina = hina... thus: kanahina
I like it because it's unique and is usually available (but not always - which i find strange) when i need to have a screen name for something.
