Like some others, my name also started out being a character in a MUD (started 1993, still playing various ones). I chose it at the time because Stings 'Message in a bottle' was going through my head.. And thats why my .plan in MUD is usually:

Just a Castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
No-one here but me
More loneliness
Than anyone could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair.

So there you go.. And nothing whatsoever to do with a certain Tom Hanks film, who should be paying me copyright ;)

- Plain old 'Jess Robinson' in RL -

C. (or 'Lady C.' or 'Castaway')
