Thanks for clearing that up for Bertram!

Incorrect: there is more meaning, and not something trivial.

I told one player the meaning of my nick once (before my absence of a however many months, back when I was just a player), with the explanation that it was supposed to be secret, and a puzzle to see if anyone could figure it out. Although I would appreciate anyone who actually figures it out keeping silent, I don't want my PM box getting flooded with bad guesses. It's not the end of the world if it gets publicized (and the end of the world won't be that bad for me anyways).

Hi,

No, it was a simple question I tried to turn in a humorous way. I didn't even notice you were "gone".

Of those 38, only "oceanographic", "onomatopoetic", and "opportunistic" pass the further hurdle of the browser spellchecker.

I was just thinking about posting such a list as "things completely unrelated to my name", though mine is missing opthalmologic, oscilloscopic, and overenergetic.

Also, avoid potential typos by using braces in your regex:

In honor of the move, I decided to announce the answer:

Take the word "n00b", and increment each character.

As a result, no matter how many abilities or responsibilities I have, I am constantly reminded that I am not far removed from being a newbie.

I actually knew this. :p

nice lil puzzle
