Sig-nif of your Screen Name ???

[SEAWOLF97]

well this is a different thread....yes, it belongs in OFF TOPIC, but only gets a limited viewing there,so...

This is mainly directed at those with odd/different screen/user names....what is the significance/meaning of your name ??

for many like Hjames....well, yes, its your name
for BMWCCA its his car club
for Loach71 its the aircraft and year he flew it

but for others, its a mystery ..... care to share the story/meanings ????

for me...Seawolf came from the highly decorated attack helo squadron I served with in the Navy ...1997 was the year I applied for my first email acct...it was also a meaningful year to us sailors that loved Hong Kong ...as in "I cant believe that they are really gonna give HK back in '97"

Q: ?? so whats your story ?????

come on...this could be a fun thread

[Hoerninger]

There is a specific interest in horns, mainly bass horns (DIY) which you can realize in various threads here.
(Besides, there is a keen interest in electrostatic headphone soundreproduction. But ... wrong forum.)
And there is a pub in my village called "Hörninger".
Well, I choose the variant with "oe" instead of "Ö".

[opimax]

opimax was opusmax 1st back in the 80s. I left AOL and came back.They said someone else was opusmax so I chnged to opimax. Opus for the penguin in Bloom County and Max for the Nissan Maxima I had at the time. A neighbor said opi was the plural of opus so opimax the name has been for a long time.

At the time Opus was a favorite of my ex-wife and myself, one of the few things we actually had in common, lol!

grumpy you have thing for "dead chicks" huh, sounds a bit morbid. Can you explain in layman’s what a “dead chick” means?

[jcrobso]

"jcrobso" was my PROFS ID when I worked for IBM, I didn't choose it it was just assigned to me. So I have just kept it, just put a "n" on the end and you have my name!

No.

Undead, perhaps.

[Ducatista47]

Zero mystery to mine, but just in case it is the appellation for a Ducati motorcycle owner or enthusiast who was in this case born in 1947. That would be in the first half of the previous century in the former millennium, and do I ever feel old some days.

The Ducati has been laid up wrecked for two or three years, a low priority at this point. I should have used Volkswagen. Or Bridgestone, my bicycle. Couldn't use Stax on a speaker site.

Most other sites I am clarkmc2.

[JBL 4645]

No.

grumpy I found you a new avatar of Liz, she looks gumpy If not shocking. Positivity shocking.


As to my, username that was simple. I’m obsessed with the JBL 4645 sub should be obvious.

[Titanium Dome]

Many assume that Titanium Dome has to do with a love of Ti dome tweeters. Some morons have even used that assumption to categorize, criticize, and castigate me as a tin-eared lover of harsh, sharp, ringing HF drivers, as opposed to whatever crap they're trying to push. (Yes, a bit feisty today...)

Nonetheless, the real reason is found in my occasionally posted byline: Inverted Dome Metalhead. It's not about tweeters at all but my admiration for inverted domes like the 904Ti, 906Ti, and 908Ti. These are the drivers that brought me back to JBL with passion. Later, I learned to appreciate the 093Ti and 095Ti embossed domes, too. Yes there are Ti tweeters that I like, but that's not the reason for the moniker.

Somehow Inverted Titanium Dome or Titanium Inverted Dome didn't roll off the tongue easily (too many syllables) and neither lent itself to easy compression: T-I-Dome? IT-Dome? ITD? Sounds like a government agency or a venereal disease. (Is there a difference? Why, yes, of course there is. )

Titanium Dome gives Ti-Dome, T Dome, TD, etc. which many find useful.

Heck...I thought it came from being follicly challenged

( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/follicly_challenged )

a little OT..but I'm OP, so its OK..

have had those old EPI inverted dome tweeters, they had great coverage and everyone liked the sound, Q: why wasn't that design used more ??

[SMKSoundPro]

I started my business at 18 as SMK Sound Productions, but while buying yellow page advertizing, the rep decided that Smksoundpro was more "hip" to the bridal (or bridle) market segment. She started posting all of my subsequent ads under SMKSOUNDPRO, which was fine.

if I had to do it all over again, I would probably just be known as: "Sourdough Scotty" the name I was called in my family for being born in Alaska.

[scott fitlin]

I use my real name, and IT IS my avatar that shows a SOLI BUMPER CAR! Nothing too hard to figure out about me!
