*highfives Fara* Thank you!

I will only say one thing; that is, after the 'I will only say one thing': LOL.

I've had a good time reading this thread. Now it's my turn.

My first use of the name dinode (it doesn't have to be capitalized, but it can be) was for a superhero I came up with who had cool gadgets and could transform into any kind of dinosaur. A combination of dino & node (which I think is a computer term). Not many other people use the name, so even though the hero has fallen into disuse, the name continues on for several online locations.

I also intend to use the name as a nickname for a character in a book I intend to write. His full name is Dinodesan.

Whenever I see your name on the forum I think of diodes, which are little electronic components that keep electrical current flowing in one direction and don't let it go backwards. Sort of like a backflow preventer.

A diode!

Diodes in electronics are usually pretty small but they pack a lot of punch for their size. LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) which you see in electronics, new traffic lights, and flashlights (torches for our UK and Australian friends ) use a tiny amount of power but produce a huge amount of light. They also tend to have a longer working life than regular light bulbs, which makes them popular with the green folks. Diodes can also be chained together into a very specific circuit that can convert AC power like what comes out of your house's wall socket into DC, which is used to power electronic objects on a much smaller scale, like remote control cars, flashlights (or torches ), or walkie talkies.

But this has nothing to do with dinosaurs or nodes (which probably use diodes in some capacity ), so I'll leave it be.

Man, all of you have such nice and cute stories of your username! Mine is quite simple really.

I took the verse from Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God..." etc.

So "Fear Not" came from the beginning of that and "12" is simply the month of my birthday I wish I had a better story!

Lol on that too, I'm not sure if my reason is a good one or not, still....
