You put THAT much thought into it?NorthHen wrote:Cluck -
As I recall, it occurred during a dialogue between me and Gannonfan on another topic. I believed he was being arrogant and I used the "Gannonfan" reference as an example. My simple point was that posters are free to choose any "name". Since "Gannonfan" was, I believe, one of the "founding fathers" of "GoHens", I believed it was a bit arrogant to assume the title of "Gannonfan"....as if none of the other UD fans posting on the site were fans of Rich Gannon or that HE had some special status to designate himself as THE "Gannonfan".
I also believed it to be less than creative...all "names" in the universe were available.
I also believed it was selected to draw attention to him, "Gannonfan", as somehow somebody special.
At the time... as an illustration... it made sense to include it as a constant example of arrogance. Maybe it worked...maybe it didn't. Not sure my example had any effect on resolving the dispute Gannonfan and I were engeged in...and likely pissed him off ... no permanent harm to his psyche I'm sure.

...and you still believe that was "witty".
