I got mine from an alien race of the long running science fiction novel series "Perry Rhodan". The Anoree there try to allways keep their temper cool, to stay calm in every situation. I'ts kind of like me, so I adopted that name as my Internet Identity.
It's not that common that many others try to use it, so the nickname is almost everywere still free. (I've seen two or three other "Anorees", though.) |

Mine is the actual name of a guy I met almost 50 years ago. I never forgot it and have used it as a screen name for a long time now.

My nickname came to me when I first got online back in 1993 (or '94). It had been "one of THOSE days" so I tried for WhyMe...but it was taken. WhyYou was the first thing I thought of next. At first it was "WHYYOU" (because I was a newbie and had no idea what online shouting was...lol).

My username comes from my first car, a 1973 Mustang Grande (which I still own). oddly I can't find any digital photos of it. It looks pretty much like this one I found on line, same color and all:

Mine has to do with the spelling of my first name. its spelled with both a "C" and a "K" but most commonly spelled with one or the other. so i always had to correct people and tell them "C,K... C,K!" and a friend of mine just gave me the nick name.

I'm not very thoughtful, so mine is my first name and the number of the greatest hockey player to ever play (Wayne Gretzky). It also happens to be the year I graduated. So 99 has been the number I've always used for racing, sports videogames, etc.
I'd like to change it but I'm so used to it on a ton of boards and I'm getting much too old to remember a million different user names for each board. |

Mine is the final name of my band. We had several names before Plankton, but for some reason, that one was my favorite, so I use it from time to time on websites.

Mine is just metal, but with 3 Ts (mostly because of the musical genre). I've had it from when I first got AOL back in like 1993 or 94.
