my nym...
Well. OK. I've been on the net a long time. In fact, before the www when there was just usenet and gopher, I was here. In those days, we used our real names on usenet. ---- Somewhere along the line just before it became cool to use a nym (pseudonym - usenet speak), a few people in a discussion group found out I had won a televised dart tournament. The last dozen games were 301 and I had
thrown a dozen back to back perfect games. A perfect game of 301 is 5 bulls and a triple seventeen... for a total of six darts
thrown... and commonly referred to as a "six dart out". They started calling me "sixdartout"... then when nyms became popular, someone shortened it to "sixdarts" and I went along with it... then in a gaming newsgroup and in a forum dedicated to the same game, someone shortened it again to just "six" which just seemed a little lazy to me, but it caught on and about 15,000 gamers started calling me "six" on the forum and in game. So, my online persona became just "six".
