I like that Eightfingers. It reminds me of the day I started working at my Dad's cabinet shop in the '70s, he held up both hands and said to me, "count my fingers". He was the only guy that worked there who had all his fingers. After years of woodworking and then becoming a plumber, I am happy I took his warning.

My decision to use a nickname is also a matter of safety, what if someone did really nasty things using your real name.

My nickname LavaZone1 is discriptive of my interest and investment on the island.
Real name, Tom
