... your post caught my attention so I decided to click your link.  Fully expecting to get rickrolled by what is usually completely stupid, I thought this one was pretty funny.  To provide the answer to what you ponder, I'll let you know it was more about multiple attempts and the process of picking a unique nickname over 23(?) years ago with TER and some interaction withd a common aquaintence.

I'll keep the details to myself but it was more of an intentional finger poke in his eye than anything else.  You've been around a bit, care to recall some of the nuances from the original management team???
