2ndly, it's Joan of ARC - Jeanne d'Arc, en francaise.
My alma mater in Hong Kong was named after her: St. Joan of ARc School.
PK | No, she's referring to Joan of Ark, the second daughter of Noah, who swam back to pick up a pair (male and female) of Argentinian fruit bats who couldn't make it to the embarcation point in time and was left high and dr...er, wet when the ark left.

Now that we have your birthday and first name, it's not difficult to get the rest and then your identity is now free for anyone on the web to use and abuse.
Birthdates are frequently used as "passwords" by banks and other credit agencies.

| wflaschka is approximately my real name, to keep me honest and recognizable. Hence, it keeps me from flaming people or being mean (usually), and makes me proof my posts for dumb things that people can corner me on. | |

| I used to be really into Astronomy, once I came upon the Andromeda Galaxy, and I have always loved the name. So now it has a habit of appearing wherever I need a username...  | |

| My own name. Unlike Mr. Flaschka who had the noble goal of being honest and recognizable, I was just too lazy to come up with anything else. | |

| I attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, whose team name is "Musketeers", and "Musketeer" just seemed an oddly appropriate user name for a fencing forum.

| When I needed an internet name several years ago, it sounded neat. It probably had some other relevance at the time, but damned if I can remember.

| Oh, yeah, and "Peach" doesn't really mean anything. I have a predilection for meaningless names.

| It's my own last name, for the same reasons as Walter uses his own name. The way I see it, I shouldn't treat discussion in an online forum any differently from face-to-face discussion around a table at a bar (those under 21 are assumed to be consuming soft drinks, naturally ).

| Mine is also my name. I get a bit fed up with people who want to be secrective of who they are on the internet for fear of someone stealing their identity, or stalking them, and I refuse to be secretive. To me, it's just the same as a call on the phone, or talking face to face. In that I'm much like Dave and Walter.
Although unlike Walter, I have posted things that were very dumb, and been cornered on several occassions.

| I went with my name because it's how people address me in conversation (it beats "hey, you!") Also, I couldn't think of a cute pseudonym that was sure I wouldn't be sick of in a month.

| hrm. Strytllr = Storyteller.
way back in the days when computers required 8 character names only, I lost all the vowels. Then I decided I liked not having vowels in my nickname. So it kinda stuck after that. it takes soo long to write out Strytllr with vowels. ;> | |

| CoyoteTiger
Well I figure I posses some qualities of both:
Fierce and quick like a tiger (I hope :-)
Wirey, thin, and endurant like a coyote.
See my friend (6'2" 180) was the wolf. Mself (6' 130) being much smaller just took the name coyote. I added the tiger later.
