Having a LotR nickname? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh I wasn't thinking that specifically... reminds me of my linguistics lecturer asking if a jam pot was still a jampot once you had eaten the jam and were using it to hold pencils....

Have you been planting bugging devices around the house?

No ..... not my style apart from not knowing where or how..........

So a screen name is more a nom de guerre / nom de clavier?

If a nickname can only be given by someone else then on the whole I loathe them... since most of mine were unwanted gifts from my unpleasant sibling or pupils.... apart from La Duquesa...

so on the whole I prefer the name I have chosen for myself
