I was thinking along the lines of fitting in with the story line of the show. I noticed that there was already at least one Browncoat or variation thereof and I didn't want a numeralized alias. Then I reckoned that all Browncoats were, by default, veterans. I gave it a shot.

This is the ONLY place I use this alias! (I normally post to MGH neurowebforum. You'd NEVER guess who I am there! ) Anyway, Firefly reminded me of CJ Cheryh's "Downbelow Station" series bc if their common gritty realism and political crosscurrents. The most intriguing character to me is Signy Mallory so I stole the name.

Like you, I got sick of competing for aliases on every message board I wanted to post to.

Hothersale is my father's bizarre middle name (silly Brit), and it is ALWAYS available, so I stick to it for that reason.

Ha! I just did a Google search for Hothersale, and I got FOUR whole results -- three of which relate to my use of the alias!

Hey there Veteran,

I couldnt work out how to repond to the message you sent me from the other thread.. The one about Calhoun.. So I tracked you down here.

MacKensie Calhoun is the Captain of the Starship Excalibur in the Star Trek book series "New Frontier"

He is a much different captain than we are normally used to in the Trek universe. He is a Xenexian warrior and regularly gets into violent confrontations preferring swift hard justice to political musings..

Mine is not an alias. It's my actual name.

Many years ago, in 1997 to be precise, I first got access to the internet. At the time, I was 8 years old, and when setting up my first email address, I pondered long and hard for something i could remember. Pretty much the only thing I could remember at that age was my birthday (29 April) so I just added it to the end of my real name, and Josh294 was born. It's almost the only online alias I've ever used, since I've never bothered to change it.
Wow, that was boring.
