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,
which let to Citrus somehow. When I registered in Yahoo!, the name Citrus was
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
come about.


Oh well, this may be
irrelivant (sp?) because I am planning on using my RTL alias of Mmaje if I
join. I do hope that everyone can see where I got that one..

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?

No, my father's first name is Michael and he is the one who registered our
internet service. With my service, you can only have one "name," so it has
always been Mmaje for me until I registered with Yahoo!, but even then when I
posted to RTL, it still showed Mmaje as posting, and not Greg Majewski. So if I
register it will have to be something totally new and unused by me before since
neither of those names will work now.
