    My name, AARguy comes from a military training technique called "After Action Review". After an exercise, troops are asked what they did that worked or did not work, rather than being preached to about their performance. They think about what they did. When troops think, they learn.

    I had a nickname that included my hometown in the US (HometownBlue) from my online persona. I had been an adult softball umpire for 20 years for over 2000 games and lesser other sports, that was my login identity for officiating websites. Had to give it up when attacked by online stalker and came back as StillBlue.

    I think it is not so much that one wants to hide, but that one enjoys finding some creative nickname. :)

    The Holy Island I was thinking of at first was just of the Isle of Arran. As kids, we used to get taken to Seahouses and Berwick-on-Tweed.

    cabse5 is an offtake from the movie Short Circuit about a robot which came alive after some sort of electrical malfunction.
    The robot's name was Johnny5. At the time of making up my screen ID, I lived in an apartment complex on SE5 street and was a cab driver.

    Bowerbirds are only found in Australia and Papua. The male spends most of his life accumulating wealth and building a “bower” to attract the females who like glittery things and a hard working male:p
