I use Hammer on most boards but there are a couple where Hammer was already taken so I had to use The Hammer. I've never seen anyone post on any board using the handle Hammer besides me but I guess someone was using it a long time ago and some boards still have it on file.

Actually, I just remembered that I originally had to register here as The Hammer but Gary-Alan changed it for me. I owe you a drink at Cybernet Gary.

Hey, what the heck, there's not 'cheers' smiley.
