Re: Origin of User Names?
The real VirtualSmitty was a boss of mine years ago. Dr. Smith was an old plastic surgeon who was actually pretty adept with computers, the engineer of our building used joke about how much time he spent online, after awhile his nickname in the building became virtualsmitty as more people caught wind of what he was actually doing. He was a really good person, was very good to me the years I knew him, after he died I just kinda started using it. Just one of those things I guess, I used to only lurk at CS, then one day Paul went and hid some of the forums and I had to register and the first thing that popped into my head was that.
