Interested to hear why you all chose your usernames.

Mine’s Teslaeata.

When I started my apprenticeship as a car & truck mechanic back in September 1977 there was a man working in the bodyshop, Mick Cronin, who had a big Moto Guzzi motorbike he’d often couple to a sidecar.

Jota was one of the fastest bikes of the time and he had written on the back of his Moto Guzzi “Jotaeata” which always stuck with me as I found it amusing.

So my unseenane is just an amusing (I think) variation on that theme.

On every forum I'm on, my name is my name followed by the forum. It's very creative and could never be figured out by anyone.

A mechanic sounded like a good reference point of my skillset. Electrician would have been more relevant here, but I’m an ME (used to be one 20 years ago anyway) not an EE. So there you go.

As truck mechanics they used to call us grease monkeys, and you’d often find us swinging from a propshaft?
