    Because anthrax is a somewhat sensitive word due to its association with acts of terrorism, and Islam is a politically sensitive religion for that same reason.

    I'm a gentile of German descent, and I'd never have the balls to use the screen name 'Zyklon B', even though it sounds totally badass and awesome, while at the same time displaying a signature advertising my heritage.

    For the record, I've got nothing against the religion of Islam (I even seriously considered converting a few years back), and am not in the least bit offended by your screen name. I just can't believe no one's ever said anything about it before.

    Someone probably didn't want a bomb dropped onto their house. Just kidding. (And even if I wasn't...there wasn't much to be done anyway...)

    It's alright, Forkfoot. I understand the fact that people think of Muslims as born devils of destruction, and using anthrax along with it intensifies one's fear. So it probably does sound hilarious - on my part.

    Thank you for the compliment.

    And that reminds me - we're going off-topic. :p

    In that case, I forgot at a hundred, all one purpose. Who would type down a hundred people's names over here? And who would read them, in turn?
