Oh! Oh! I can explain this one! My last name is pronounced muh-JEH-skee, but
people always say muh-JOOS-kee, which led to the nickname Juice for me. Also,
my favorite color is orange which led some people to call me Orange Juice,

already taken, so I have been using CitrusX for about three years, and that's
what the internet's non-Lego community has called me...

Hey, that's a pretty great story!  It's always fun to hear how nicknames

irrelivant (sp?) because I am planning on using my RTL alias of Mmaje if I

Well, keep in mind, the goal here is to discourage (in a mechanical way)
general "aliases" or "handles" or "screen names."  You probably wouldn't be
able to use "mmaje" (certainly not "Mmaje" since the ID's will be all
lowercase) because your first name starts with G, not M.  Out of curiosity,
where did the double-M come from?  Is Greg your middle name, with your real
first name starting with M?
