JackTorrance, Why are you called Jack Torrance? I could have used as my screen name xyz, or abc, or Ahdullah Mohammed, or Abdul, or Superman, or anything else. It is only a screen name so that when I post, you know that it is my reply and not xyz's reply. It is my tag, my anonymous tag, a non-descript tag. As you do not question sojournerlumus why he chose that screen name, because that is what he wanted, I dont ask why Hassan 1 chose to use Hassan1 instead of HassanX do I? That is his choice and he must have a reason for it. I have my reasons as well, it is the name of my pet but abbreviated.
Ooooh, touchy, I just wondered because you have said you are male and yet it is a girl's name. Now I know it was the name of your beloved pet, it all makes sense now - and I'm sorry for agitating, what still must be, a painful memory. I chose Jack Torrance for two reasons, one of them, interestingly enough, also pet related:
1) I like the film the Shining and the main character was a lovely chap called JT.
2) I used to have a pet snake called JT. He will be dead now, having escaped over fourteen years ago. But just thinking about him brings a tear to my eye, so perhaps I can see your reticence in answering my question after all. Now I must go and bury my cat.
