Had to get a "nick" to participate in these forums. It was late at night and I was eating a can of Herrings in Hot Louisiana sauce with some crackers. I thought of Cracker, but for obvious reasons I thought that was not a very good Username. So "Herring" it is.
Well.......My first name is Gail. I love to dance.....swing, 2 step......a little salsa.
My favorite dance is Hustle....which originated as a partner dance danced to disco music...........contemporary Hustle retains some of that flavor, as well as elements of swing & latin style.
Also......put "disco" in front of your name & it seems to be always available as a user name just about everywhere.

When I first bought my current computer, I was totally overwhelmed with all the new things to learn about my new hardware, software, using the Internet, etc. I wanted people to keep answers to my questions simple, as I was unfamiliar with much of the computer terminology others take for granted. What better way to communicate that than to let people think you are a total airhead?
I thought I would change my user name after I became more familiar with my equipment and software, but I've decided I like it. As a retired secondary and university educator, I felt a need to communicate an image of "the responsible one" all my working life. So it is fun to be able to be an airhead for a change.
Besides, I still need people to "keep it simple." And the moniker "Airhead" sounds better than "GettingSenile," doesn't it?

I'm Australain and I used to have red hair (what's left is sort of gingerish grey) We call red head "Blue" down here. There are other Aussie associations ie "True Blue Aussie:" a genuine or "dinkie die" Aussie. My phone company/ISP is also called dingoblue.

Enki is one of the chief gods of the ancient Sumerian pantheon: Enki
I discovered him inZecharia Sitchins fine books based on his theory that there is a 10th planet in our solar system on which an advanced race of beings reside. Enki is one of the leaders of this race, which the Sumerians called the Annunaki.
So their you have it.
