Chazzy, I'm even less original than you suspect. From 1998 to 2000, I was doing contract work for a company. That company assigned logon ids so they could control what systems people could access. They gave me ou71764 as my id on their systems - the "ou" stood for "outside user." I don't know if the numbers had any meaning.
Anyway, having no better ideas, I just used it when I set up my online id on yahoo, and then used it elsewhere thereafter. So the numbers mean nothing to me, and "ou" isn't significant to me either. My birthday is in December, lol.
SOOOO...things look bleak for our investment, but ya never know...
