What's your username mean?

Ahem.
Taelon comes from the TV sci-fi series, "Earth: Final Conflict," in which humanity receives unexpected alien guests, the Taelons, for an extended stay - with a dark agenda behind their benevolent ways. Anyway, I thought the Taelons themselves were so cool - most of all Da'an, initially the leader, with their gentle voices and movements and their cool approach to everything.
My very first online nickname ever was actually x-state. Then, thanks to a chat BBS that let you register MULTIPLE nicknames between which you could choose at each login, I ended up with about 40 different nicks, all of which have a little story (which I'll post here later if anyone wants me to) and all of which I've grown tired of. So for the past few years I've been Taelon just about everywhere.
In those cases where Taelon was already in use, I used TaelonUSA instead, so that's what I am on AIM as well as eBay and half.com.
But there's more.
When I first got into Direct Connect (later DC++) I wanted to be different once again and went for a variation on Taelon, resulting in Daimon, which shortly afterward turned into something like -o=DA1M0N=o-. Â
So... no matter where on the net I am and what I'm doing... I seek to be known as Taelon. Only on MSN and DC++ am I DA1M0N.
Oh, and to Myname, in response to a much earlier post in this thread:
HI BRETT! YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF GERMAN-LANGUAGE SX MEMBERS! LOL!
