I'm a bit confused too Admiral44 ?

I can't say I speak for admiral44, but I interpreted his post as a reply to billy the man's note about his cricket forum and the people who argue on that particular page.

ahhh!!! right now i understand
if that is the post then i fully agree with the admiral and a lot of it is the youngsters writing in (and its one of my pet hates) TEXT, and to generaly come on to stir up trouble and then hide behind the alias,
anyway back to the topic any more explanations for your nicknames i must admit there are some fascinating theorys of how people get their aliases brilliant keep them coming

Well, my nickname was given to me by my wife. She called me her big bear because of my bearhugs she used to love. I also enjoy astronomy and I thought that ursa major would match my nickname but it sounded too feminine, so I changed it to OsoMajor.

BTW, NO&DO...I really like your nickname. Regarding the use of the word Yankee to refer to Americans even Southerners. Yes, it's a reference to all Americans from outsiders, but as a native Texan, I can tell you right now that no Texan would ever call himself a Yankee!

Sorry, I was out of touch for a few days.

Yeah, I meant that people who start arguments for the fun of it are immature, silly, wasting our time. Sorry for the confusion. At present, I have not arguments with anyone (except myself).

Saludos!

Saludos a todos. Some interesting stories on nicknames and how you chose them. I liked Sparkalina the best, it made me laugh. As for me and my nickname, it is a combination of my ancestry. My parents moved to Canada from Spain many years ago and I was born and live in Canada although I also hold Spanish citizenship(very handy). So, I just combined them to create my alter-ego CAN SPAN. I think it is an alright nick though it reminds me of some sort of trucking or moving company.

,,,and I thought that it was a typo for being Hawaiian...
