The naming of names is a difficult matter

Post by Senji »

Since I've been asked (repeatedly now) here is a bit of an explanation of why 'Senji' that I've copied from the last time I needed it...
Way back when, many centuries ago (cue Lloyd-Webber)...
...I used to post to alt.fan.eddings. At some point around the 25th April 1997 another poster called Nicolai decided to imitate some of the older posters (such as Aphrael), and take a name from the books (Belgarion). This started a sort of trend, so I took Senji, which I chose because he was a sorcerer, but not a world-shattering hero.
Unfortunately, the thread in question appears not to have made it to Google Groups.
During the rest of the 90s I used a number of nicknames on the net, but 'Senji' came out as the easiest to remember and reasonably unique. I use it pretty much (but not exclusively) everywhere.
