Hmmm . . . giving away your ID is not a good idea. Now your accounts are 50% easier to hack.

While I understand with the spirit of what you're saying, I must strongly disagree with that in practical application. A username in many contexts is fundamentally public. The password is the half of the authentication pair that isn't. Further, there are multiple authentication and authorization factors that can further ensure only authorized access (e.g., VPN, biometric, and so on, some of which we use for our systems). An account username should NOT be considered private or secure, nor any kind of barrier to account access. (Also, in no way is an account whose username you know "50%" easier to hack.)

Aside from driving my 5er, my other addiction is the craps table. Hence, I love to roll dice. Eleven (aka "yo" and automatic winning roll) replaces the letters "LL"....ro11dice

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)

I've played piano since I was a kid (Heck, what am I saying? I'm still a kid!).
"Cool Tones" was the name given to me when I was in a band.

"Tones" nickname for Tony. "Tones" also for *sound*

"Ferdie" is my nickname, although a lot of people keep calling me Freddie

. I was so excited when I was registering for this forum that I couldn't think of anything creative, just wanted to get into the board ASAP
