Everywhere else on the web, I'm brucew. It's my first name and last initial.

On all the other bike forums, Linux forums, men's longhair forum, music forums, whatever, I'm brucew. My dot-com? brucew.com. Email? brucew@brucew.com I've been brucew since long before I even owned a dot-com, which I registered back in 1997. Hell, even at work, we have brucet (my boss) and brucew.

When I signed on here, some imposter had taken it! He hadn't used it in a couple of years, but the policy at the time was they wouldn't re-assign it. I know that now they consider it, and others have changed their account names, but after all these years everyone here knows me as TSL, so TSL it stays.

TSL, BTW, are the initials of the web-hosting firm I owned at the time, The Secret Labs (not to be confused with another web firm, called simply Secret Labs). I sold the company in May 2008. The buyers had their own branding already, so they dropped the registration for the name. Looks like a speculator picked up the name in 2009.
