Where is Frustrated Reader?
Back when I joined I used "Frustrated Reader" as the user name. It was shortly after getting my 1st Kobo (H2O original) and being annoyed with FW update that meant I couldn't have entire home screen as a Most Recently Used (MRU) list, as I both read for relaxation and proof read a lot of titles.
So now I'm using the name I use for posting on our main website. Anyway, I do proof reading and IT for Corvids press, as well as some other things. Above you can see Quoth berating Never for letting out one of our valuable authors. |

Given the fact that your registration date is over 2.5 years ago and you at the time of this post have 1181 posts, I assume you somehow changed your user name?

Not me personally, but yes it's the same account. Obviously the sharp eyed would realise that. Don't tell anyone though.
I thought the old name was unduly negative and was chosen on the spur of the moment. |

I applaud your new username, I take it as homage to one of my favourite Discworld characters.(and the possible allusion to my favourite musical ever doesn't hurt, either)

It's from a poem. Though I've read all the discworld books and won't forget the discussions between Susan and the bird. I'm fond of them.

Yes, I figured it was almost certainly a reference to Poe's original. Which not only inspired Pratchett's humorously homicidal raven, but also supplied the 'script' for what remains my favourite Simpsons Halloween episode ever.

Poe's protagonist was, of course asking the wrong question, unlike the clever fellow in the song:
