Hey there! Don't hang around CommunityBuzz very often, but thought I'd chime in.
I think I posted once somewhere that my handle was created by a childhood friend who noticed one day that my initials, sounded out, roughly formed the word "jackal."
It's become my handle for any forum in which I wish to remain somewhat anonymous, but a mild tinge of regret washes over me occasionally, since the Urban Dictionary has a definition of a jackal as "[a] dievious or mishchievous person; someone who wishes ill-fate upon another." I'm not like that at all (I'm about the polar opposite), and I hope people don't assume I am.
But not really having any creative ideas for an alternate semi-anonymous handle, I guess I'll stick with mine...
