Willing to trade mixtapes, CDs, sandwich recipes, books, drawings, coloring book pages, thoughts.
Here's the story of the name: From about 1996 til 2001, I spent a lot of time on Undernet. I couldn't find a nick I liked: Hollid, NPBBBS, NP3BS, NeilPB. None of them were good. In #phish, they were amused by all this nick-hopping. It became a sort of tradition that when addressing me, they would develop variations on the name Neil. Neilshire is one that sticks out in my memory. (The 'shire' is silent of course:) 1337-speak was tried: gn33l, kn33l. But everybody's (well, my) favorite was: Knile. So simple, it just works. Thus it became my IRC nick, and username for many things. On 7 Aug 1999, it became part of my AIM screen name(Knile87). This was right before the explosion of AIM's popularity among many of my schoolfriends & others of that ilk. Many people I knew from real life liked the idea of "Knile" and they started using it. Then I finally met a few people I knew from the Net, and they thought of me as Knile. It's to the point where I accept "Knile" as much as my given name and even encourage yall to use it.
I joined e2 in October 2000, or so it says. It seems I created knile and knile87 in rapid succession. There are lots of things about Fall 2000 that I'll never remember/understand. I used Knile87 until this summer, when I realized "Oh, that must be me with Knile. Huh." I half-explained it to some of the noders I met, but most just accepted the 87. Until August 11, 2002 when I took matters into my own hands, and asked ailie to do a little remodelling. And now here I am.
Noders I have smiled at (in the very rough order I met them):
