I guess my username is pretty obvious. I've been using it on several other forums for years.

I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. Always wanted to ask you what your name meant. :)

I had a few other names I preferred, but they were already taken. My user name means simply that I wear eyeglasses for reading. Not very imaginative, but descriptive. :wink:
