BTW, if this were a poll for favorite name I'd vote for "A Person".  Cool

Really?  I always assumed your name came from the Procol Harum album.

You're not the first one to assume that, and probably not the last.  I hadn't even heard of the album when I was first asked.

Of course, I'm bad about making assumptions.

I owe poor Pekka an apology.  Ouch

Well, of course I am a big fan the Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy.  I've always loved to try and get it as a user name or screen name.  Often someone else has already claimed it so I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get it here.  One variation that never seems to be claimed as a username is Slartbartfaster.  Also the e-mail address I've been using for many years is slartiba@...  No I'm not revealing the domain I already get waaay too much junk in that one now.  LOL   Plus I often have long hair and beard.  I've never designed an fjords, by the way, in case anyone wants to know.  I'm not entirely sure what I would have picked for here if it had been taken.  Maybe Ford Prefect.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I assumed the same.  I like salt on my food too and my name's The Doctor.  Salty Doc.  What do you all think?  LOL
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Okay - my nickname refers to something clerical ... Censored ... it's evident ... isn't it?

By the way - I also find bands like Porcupine Tree and Riverside quite genre influential Wink
