I do the same Bob.

When I first joined, this was the first forum I had been a part of. (And was a young'in) so, I didn't have a very creative name. When I joined the Ranger forum for my 02 Ford Ranger, it was my second Ranger, so I made up Ranger:APB. First part for my trucks, second for my initials. Wish I could change this forum name, but that's all right.

I wish also that I could change my user name given my vocation but the truth remains. I bleed Ford Blue. Henry Ford, T.A.Edison, and Harvey Firestone. The true innovators of the hobby that we all enjoy to this day....Without all of the them, where would we be ? we wouldn't.....be.

I don't disagree with you but, I'm sure if we didn't have those particular innovators, surely there would have been other famous names on that list.
