Anthony - why does the A in your name have a roof over it.

Is it akin to an umlaut?

Thanks!

The roof is called a circumflex.

My name is Kevin and when I was a kid I had friends that would say my name fast and it always came out as KEBN. 51 was my high school football number. I've been using this username since I was 18. 35 now.

I never owned a motorcycle until we lived in Saudi Arabia and I started riding in the dunes with a group of guys. My learning curve was very steep ergo, Crash.....

I assumed you were a Disney fan (but secretly hoped you were thumbing your nose at the IAU) but anyway...

Mine originated from the early days of personal computers and the very early "internet." For those
that don't remember (or are too young), there was a time when you could only have eight characters.
Also forums like this didn't exist yet; they were DOS driven (C:> prompt) "bulletin boards"...what a PIA
compared to nowadays. And since I was young(er) back in those days, I happened to also be working
my a $$ off to support a family, and was working day and night... so nights were equally "busy" for me!
It morph'd into "knight" due to my old English family name's meaning in arabic, "shinning knight" - I'm
suspecting, left over from the days of the crusades. Thus I have "Busy Knight" or in 1980 terminology,
"BusyKngt". That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! :tiphat:

My last name starts with a B. When I was going to my first Air Force base, that dumb song 'yo digity' was popular. Someone changed a letter and I became known as Bigity. Not to be confused with some form of bigot.
