My first online name is one I still use frequently: sgruthie, which is short for Supergirl Ruthie. It was the name that the Ouija board spelled out for my mom when she asked the name of the critter currently gestating happily inside her. So the Ouija board was right! Kind of.
One thing that I ask that you don't do: eliminate seeing posts chronologically. I want to make sure I've seen everything, and to do that, I need at least the option of viewing a chronological archive. Salon is darn near ruined for me now.
