I suppose any meaning I could retroactively assign to my nickname would not stand up to the shining verbosity and eclecticism of Kransha!

"Underhill" was my idea of the "obvious pseudonym," a la Frodo Baggins. (Then I found everyone else thought of the same exact thing before me...). Lyta is a Vorlon-altered psychic rebellious time bomb with undiscovered (perhaps undiscoverable?) powers, i.e., Lyta Alexander from Babylon 5, one of my favorite science fiction television shows of all time. Plus, I've sort of become Lyta online by default over the years. I even think in "Lyta" if you get my meaning!

Cheers,
Lyta
