Sounds kind of nutso, but cool at the same time. "Binder" got his current
name from the name he aquired while in Pueblo Corporate during a game a LONG
time ago. Before that, he was "Reflex", given to him by the rest of his group
because of his "Reflex Response" to just doing things without really thinking
of their consequences...

"Binder" works out better, especially now that Enchantment is his game (and 3
halves)..."Binding Magic to Object" as it were....

Best way. :>

I'll leave it to your imaginations to figure out who gave me my nick and
why. (Hint, I've had it longer then I have been gaming. ;)

I'd answer, but my imagination has trouble getting out of the gutter these
days. Even getting into the gutter usually involves strapping on the ol'
metaphorical mountain boots...

I suppose I should be disqulified since you told me this once already :]

Bull -- Who started using this nick after everyone on this list started
calling him that :] (Because of my PC, NOT because of what I have to say
:] though that comes into question on occasion as well :))

As I tell people "My mind is so deep it can't help but pass through the
gutter... and since it goes so very deep, the gutter always seems to be on the
top of my mind."
