Because they've got waaay too many things to 
remember these days, and because I'm inclined to 
be lousy at remembering names, and because I 
emerged from the 80's with fewer left than I 
would have liked in the first place (but that's a 
story for another day).

So... it's just easier to use "Baakay" 
everywhere.  Of course, the handle is mine 
courtesy of Kymaera, who also used to delight in 
using his godlike power to change my name to 
various forms of stupidness when we met some 10-
11 years ago on a MUD. Baka Kay just kind of 
mushes together nicely.

I used to go by Xena when the Web first started 
getting rolling...because that was my D&D 
character way back. But after the TV show came 
out, who was going to believe I had been playing 
a half-elf of that name since 1981? riiiight :-)

The only thing have real difficulty with these 
days is passwords.  "What the h$$l did I used 
this time?"
