looking back at the first Flyertalk months I 'remember' to have created about 30 different 'handles' just for one night, the Halloween night in 1998, and was really proud that I succeeded then to fool some of my old-friends (the only other handle than Rudi that survived that Halloween night was 'IDUR' = Rudi backwards ...).
Just recently, copyright by gaucho100K, I replied to a few of his posts, when he started to call me 'Pabst'®, with that 'Pabst'® handle (I hope that 'my' vatican doesn't mind me crediting gaucho100k the ® for the 'Pabst' handle on Flyertalk ...).
