That's so boring... you should go for 'nrg_α'

Well, you could call me that if that name is less boring for you :)

Thanks Andy.

Actually, I never considered this as late. I wasn't expecting it to be honest. It was a pleasant surprise more than anything else. All I did (and will continue to do) is help out if I can and absorb / learn from others what I can to futher myself. I'm no pro at this, but slow and steady wins the race, no?

To be honest, I was more or less keeping my eye on my post count as I edge ever so closer to that milestone 1000 post mark to make it a 'Woowhoooo! Made it this far!' thread in Miscellaneous forum [oh, it's coming!] (I can hear some members snickering in the background at my upcoming 1000th post, which they themselves have eclipsed 6, 7 times or more already...) But hey, you have to start somewhere, right?

So for me, it isn't about how fast can I earn my wings around here, so much as learning how to fly in the first place and helps others in the process. ;)

Lol, slow and steady is the way to go in the learning process; although it's extremely boring it's the best way to remember what you have learned as you have time to implement it :)

As for bettering yourself, I do not think of it as that lol I would call it, `quenching the thirst for knowledge.`

Anyhow; hopefully I got plenty of time left for that, I might exen see a day that windows creates a standards complient Internet Explorer.

lol :P

The little voice in my head pronounces it as "energy", so "energy alpha" sounds kind of cool and original.  Maybe if it were actually "Energy Alpha" or "energyAlpha".  Not digging the underscore and definitely not digging the "nrg" because it seems too script-kiddie.

Hehe.. well, the nrg ('supposed to be' pronounced as the three letters that they are; 'en-are-gee') doesn't stand for anything anymore (although I can certainly see the 'script-kiddie-ness' when one thinks of something along the lines of 'energy'. As for the underscore, forums past that I visited didn't allow spaces, therefore no nrg alpha, so an underscore fit the bill to my linking, and have used that ever since..

But if "energy alpha" is what the voice says... so be it ;)
