When deciding an email address I wanted it to have something to do with the sky.... but everything was taken. Then I tried a play on words... I am in awestruck of the sky and so Skystruck_99 became my email address (the 99 because it was 1999).
Sky is generally taken.... but I prefer it because it is shorter than Skystruck
Glad it was available here
My username is actually the creation of Ed Greenwood, he used it an alias for one of his main Characters... Elminster... (See the Making of a Mage)
The Name means one who wanders seeking knowledge... I couldn't resist using it for myself as that pretty much sums up my life...
When I was in college in the US, one of my friends had this pretty cool car, the Firebird. * I like the Mustang too, ;) *
And I have a particular affinity for all things 'ducks' .... the wild ducks are so free to fly wherever. You should see my collection of ducks - ceramic ones, wooden ones, big ones, small keychains, etc.
So, from there came my userid which I have been using since mid 90's. *Quack * :)
