Harder was my nickname some time ago. I kept it on the shelf to use as the name for my first fishing boat - "Harder" has several meanings in Dutch language one of them the name of a saltwaterfish.
But UMSF came up first... I'm not even loosely related to Bruce Willis

As someone already argued, I used the beginning of my surname... De facto, this abbreviation is also my nickname in my workplace.
Anyway, I never had a great fantasy in this field!

Since my name is Doug Van Dorn, I figured dvandorn was, well, appropriate...
 As for my sign-off, well -- I had originally planned on signing my posts simply, like this: -Doug However, after my first post, as I read through the forum (which was, at that point, the old rlproject site), I saw that our Glorious Leader signed his posts almost identically. So, I figured, it was a little more appropriate (and perhaps a touch humorous) to sign myself, as I shall always be here, -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Mine has evolved.
I started out sometime before the turn of the century as "MeThePichu," "Pichu" being a Pokemon. A while later I wanted something new, but still connected to the original name. So, I went with "UltraMTP3000." Everyone called me "um3k," which I started using for its simplicity. Thus, I am now um3k. This all happened before I became interested in space. |
