What's the story behind your forum name?

[Anker]

Anker is an uncommon Danish first name. I was born in South Africa and considered my naming to be cruel and unusual punishment instigated by my parents. Didn't get any better when we move to Denmark because the spelling is exactly the same as the spelling of a boat anchor in Danish. It wasn't until I became an adult that I actually got to like my first name.

I refuse to tell anybody what my nickname was in South Africa. :-)

[cas951]

While I was in the military everyone always called me Cas. No matter where I was stationed they all called me Cas. Maybe my last name is long so they all gave me that nickname and it stuck on me. My dream car was a Porsche 944 turbo. So when I first signed up for my first email account through AOL decades ago i came up with cas951. That’s been my username ever since.
