I always recognised that 6charlong was 6-characters-long, (while simultaneously thinking of a type of tea, because that's the way my head works), but assumed it was some part of geekish lore I was unfamiliar with (and prejudged geekish attrbitutes to you accordingly
). I always liked it, because I pronounce it "Six Charlong" in my mind, and imagine some SF character, perhaps cyborg, perhaps clone, certainly trained in espionage, assassination, and personal defence...well, like I said, my head works that way. I also liked it for the geekish association I assumed. Now that I know why you selected it, you've just added a punchline that makes me love it all the more (and the puppy doesn't hurt either
).
That's a lot to assume from a username. I think I'm just making Ea's point.
Cheers,
