[SmokinReefer]

Dude....what was the question....I forgot already!

And now I have the munchies......

Actually I smoke and I've kept a nice saltwater reef tank for the last 5 years. Put the two together and.....At lot of other board admins take issue with the name, but after an explanation I usually get to use it, except at a certain Rolex discussion board for some reason.

And before someone chimes in.....I used cultured live rock and tank bred fish.

[Green_Manelishi]

From http://www.green-manelishi.info/main/about/aboutindex.html

Green_Manelishi was my 'nom-de-network' while I was a computer science student during the early 1980s. Our college time-shared on a VAX 11/78x and when it was discovered that we could set the process name associated with our interactive user it was a fait accompli. A process name could be a maximum of 15 characters so I decided to use Green_Manelishi.

The name is a mis-spelled version of Green Manalishi from the song (written by Peter Green) "The Green Manalishi (with the Two Pronged Crown)". I used the name simply for its curiosity factor and I used an underscore, i.e. _, rather than a space in order to facilitate "instant messaging" between myself and others. In 1998, when I purchased my first PC and went on-line it made sense to use that same name. It piqued curiousity in the "big 80s" and seems to do so many years later.

Reef, as in "coral reef"; Mongoose, as in "amusing little critter that scrambles around looking for anything of interest." Thus, ReefMongoose: amusing little critter who likes scrambling around all over the reef looking for anything of interest, especially under overhangs, in holes, and in gulleys.
