Geez it's annoying.  Can we just give out little merit badges that people can put on their jackets.  

You get to use 1 only.  How about that?  If you use more than one everyone gets to punch you.  Deal?  

I feel the multi use of letters is like those douchy engineers that still wear their university leather jackets 10 years post graduation.

lol well said^

Are you doing this to justify keeping the -x in your handle?

Yeah, jla-x, what's up with your name?! Where's the x?

once you're Frank Gehry you don't need AIA or what ever after your name.

maybe jla- has graduated pass the 'x'?  although what does the x mean?

It's like Malcom's X.

Either that or it signals that (s)he's single.

jla's not hardcore anymore, or maybe just off the wagon.

Alien 8 for a brief second I thought your handle was Altern 8 (old school techno)

which makes me tend to agree with not hardcore anymore...but just one 'x', that's kind of lightweight anyway, right?

the x means what ever you wish it to mean.  

@Olaf, very few ever fully commit to that lifestyle, especially long-term. 

I have never seen, nor heard, of Altern 8 (techno never appealed to me), but I just watched a few of their old videos which have some nice elements to them, especially the HVAC Troll in Activ-8.
