Hey, my grandma lives in Napa!
(Not that's really relevant to anything or that you should know her, I just thought I should mention it.)

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

It's part of my pseudonim: Venerico de la Fuerro Rossa

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Male

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I maybe look young, but (as some people who know me may say) I was born old.
As you can see: Middle of Nowhere

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.)

I'm not so shure in that idea.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I was just sniffin' around and I run on to "Equal rites", so I got addicted ... well you all know the rest of the story.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

If you all ARE normal, then I am Queen of England (No offence to the Queen)

I would like to add, that I was on old message board.

Welcome, Venerico. Don't worry, I don't think think anyone here is normal. So don't go putting your face on any money just yet...

Zisteau, you could always answer the lovely questions someone (can't quite remember who) spent hours writing (okay a few minutes) on the first page It's more curtesy than anything else.

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
I originally wanted to use Greebo on the old board, but someone was already using it, so I went for another fictional cat - Robert Heinlein's "Cat Who Walks Through Walls" (It was a 50-50 choice between Pixel and Petronius the Arbiter (Pete) from "The Door Into Summer")

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Male

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
56, originally from London, but living in Brussels, Belgium for the last 28 years.

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.)
Only if PTerry was totally involved throughout, but this would have the disadvantage of leaving him with less time to write more books.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
An office colleague lent me Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic about twenty years ago, and I was hooked.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
If at first you don't succeed, you're probably hitting it with the wrong sized spanner.

Good ole Pete... i think he's one of my favorite of Heinlein's cats. though I did enjoy the description of Random Numbers.

1) What formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
I jumbled letter up until I got a combination I liked. Iuse this name for everything online now.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Male.

3) What age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

Between 15 and 20. England.

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.)

I could but if it was meant to be realistic the special effect budget would have to be massive.

5) Who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I liked the look of one of the covers, so I got the book out of the libary. I've been hooked ever since.

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

Red tape holds the nation together.
