1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Tephlon used to be my Tag/Grafitti name. It's very individual and because of the weird spelling easy to search for...

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Male, last time I checked.
(Can we add something to this like: "Optional response, if you don't feel like answering this question, don't."?)

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
31, Portugal, born and raised in the Netherlands though.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
Yes.
Lord of the Rings/Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas showed that it is possible to make a faithfull adaptation of a book. Terry would have to be very deeply involved though. Peter Jackson or Terry Gilliam would have to direct. If Spielberg, George Lucas or James Cameron so much as look at the script they should be tazered. [bzzzzzzt]

5) Who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Read good omens, then a colleague lent me Mort.

6) What's your personal quote of the day?
See signature.

7) Who's your favorite author (F/M) besides Pratchett
Douglas Adams, although Carl Hiaasen makes me smile too.
