John, good to see you. We've been having a half-assed attempt at a DOS attack here by doomers@suck and Lady Logic. Your lead will be followed.

Just curious -- the handle John Galt is from Ann Rand, is it not? Atlas Shrugged (or do I remember incorrectly)?

I appreciate a good literary based handle.

Yes, John Galt was the hero of Ayn Rand's masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged. Although I actually preferred some of the other protagonists, as Galt's character wasn't as fully developed.

i've considered adapting my handle to the possible world situation, (as shown below)...whaddya think?

My, my. It does just keep coming out, doesn't it? One little revelatory tid bit after another.

You don't reckon anyone will ever stand trial for murder do you?
