My user name is the term given to the highest point of sail that a sail boat can reach. At this point of sail, the apparent wind is the highest, the sea is the roughest. Therefore wind, bow spray, and heel are most prominent at this point of sail. For some, it is the most fun, for others, it is the most unpleasant. For me, it is the most exciting, the beating of the wind, the pounding of the sea, and the bite of the cold challenge the physical endurance, and the mental acuity of the sailor.

Very good picture Close Hauled, we should share sea stories sometime. I'm no sailor but the sea has been my home for some 23 years now.

Well,
The ant is a busy creature, always working hard to keep it's living space up and running and free from invaders. I'm always busy at my hobbies and I'm learning hard to master the firewall at the office. So Fire-Ant seemed a nice name combing everything.

 

Mine is really tough:

Luv2BSecure = I love to be secure! In every thing and every way. Of course, it doesn't always turn out that way, but I do LOVE to be secure!

 

Because I tried six names and found someone else already had them....in desperation I happened to be reading an article on Cochise and the way the Apache nation were kind of dumped on and so I tried that and it was accepted........mind you, it has caused me some problems on some Forums I have been on (Tom Coyote) for instance...where I was jumped on by an 'Apparent' descendant who said I had no right to use the name...according to Apache law a Chiefs' name cannot be used by anyone else in the Tribe, but the complainant was trampled to bits by the Users at Tom Coyote..........not nice really at the time but I then became more sure it was OK....at no time would I ever show any disrespect for a Great Chief.....



Cochise,

 

I chose mine because my mrs calls me it after i crashed my old pc a dozen times an old 233mhz with win ME very stable.... not!

it was the first thing that came into my head. Boudicca, was Queen of the Iceni and fought against the Roman Empire and defeated them in many battles before they eventually defeated her in the year 60/1 and she committed suicide. her statue has pride of place outside The Place of Westminster in London.
