When I first ventured out into the vast unknown wilderness of teh Interwebz back in the mid-'90s, trying to learn as much as I could about blacksmithing in an hour's worth of forum reading since I was on long-distance dialup, the news was full of cautionary tales of the dangers of those who lurked online. So I chose something that seemed fairly generic, derived as it is from The Lord of the Rings and teh Interwebz being full of nerds, and could be easily discarded. Over half my current lifetime later, the throwaway handle is still what I use for the most part. I do put my name in my signature, though.
