Previous to using Duck Hunter online, I used King David as an alias. That was a long long time ago. Maybe in the times of using dial up BBS's. I wonder how many people remember those. Anyway, I didn't use King David for very long before I switched over to Duck Hunter.
I have been asked several times about why I chose the name Duck Hunter and if I really hunt.
First of all, I am not a hunter. I have never hunted.
The name originates from playing a video game online with some coworkers almost fifteen years ago. The game: Warcraft.
We would arrange a time to meet online and battle it out in the game after work. There were a few times at our scheduled match that one of us didn't show up. After one time of me missing, he said I was ducking him because I was scared to lose.
The next time he missed a match, I told him he was ducking me. I told him I was determined to beat him in our next match and if he tried ducking me I would hunt him down.
Duck Hunter.

I thought this was going to be about an NES game :)
I do remember dial up BBS. It was about the only "web site" I could reach back then. If you remember those - you may remember the old net call frog (I think). Those were many years ago.
The year was 1983 and I stayed home to pay the UPs guy the $70 C.O.D. for my 300 baud rate modem for my commadore 64.
Oh wow, I remember dial up BBSs!
Cute story...oh, and I definitely remember those dial up BBSs! :)
