ok an explanation for my screen name... Though born and raised in the USA I am fiercely proud of my Scottish heritage. many moons ago before DSL really became a big thing, I signed up with this somewhat popular at the time (and still popular today) dial up service known as America Online or AOL. I was limited to 10 letters to make my scrren name so I knocked an 'i' out of Cairistiona which is the Scot's Gaelic form of my real first name of Christine. have been using Caristiona ever since and just about everywhere I go on the 'net. other screen names I've used in the past usually come from names I made up for Dungeons & Dragons or mmorpg characters.
