User:Skimania

skimania is a user name I, Eric Weinschenk, selected to be my online screen name for my first ISP account, "skimania@pipeline.com" in 1993. Pipeline was a NYC startup and I found a small advertisement for them in the New York Times. It wasn't my first venture online, but it was the first time I picked the name, and it stuck. Since then I've used the name countless times, have bought the domain skimania.org and generally hate any others who try and use the name without my permission, or really at all.
