I want to hear the story behind your usernames...

I'm sure some of you have silly names and some have deeply personal and interesting names. I want to hear them all. :)

You have to disable https only I think.

Why "Snaprails"?

  • A number of years ago I needed a name for an internet account and picked the name of the park near my house as it was unlikely to have been used elsewhere.
  • Later I registered it as my domain name and 20-odd years later I'm still attached to it.
  • The park and surrounding housing areas were once the grounds of a large house and are now a public open space called Snaprails Park.
  • The gate lodge to the house still stands at what is now the entrance to the park, although for a while it was unoccupied, vandalised, and looked like it might not survive it has now been re-occupied and refurbished into a home again.

Yes, I've never got around to sorting out https and the site doesn't need it.
