Na. My display name is a poke at Bob for his suggestion following one of my landings at a backcountry strip in eastern Oregon. The setup is trees, river, airstrip (pretty typical) and I slipped hard just past the trees. There was a nice downdraft over the river so I landed on the airstrip threshold and got stopped before midfield. Bob seemed to be of the opinion that I should have used throttle instead of slipping. Hey, parking was at mid-field so I intended to be down and off by then and that was pretty close to my required landing roll. Anyway after that I changed my display name to throttle as a reminder. Funny stuff.I suppose it must be for the same reason that your Display Name is: "Display Name: Throttle", not to mention it's rather inconspicuous for something that's supposed to be displayed.
I’ve never understood the purpose of display name on here. The actual user name is also displayed and is displayed more prominently. What’s the point in it?

The display name was more prominent using the old forum software. People often changed their display name depending on mood. When we switched to the new software, some wanted to keep the feature.I’ve never understood the purpose of display name on here.

Now don’t be tryin’ to mess with my story. Dude wanted to go all tangent on me so I dropped a real tangent on him. We’ll see if he can up the ante. I bet the slacker just folds.<-- I think dmspilot was referring to this
Not to the origin of Throttle

Na, throttle has not been covered in a different thread. Now back off.It was a fine story indeed. Similar to the evolution of my username and display name. But that's been covered in another thread.

Ha! Folded like I thought he would. Tried to go mathematical n did't have the angle.Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent
Oh, I don't know. I've met a person or two that seemed proud of flaps.I suppose Throttle is still preferable to Flaps for a display name. Coulda gone the other way, you know.

Still all ‘bout you. Nope. Unh-uh. This was about out tangenting tangent boy and that is all over. He tried to get triangular but is obtuse in an acute world.Sorry, I should have written "Similar to the evolution of my username and display name, which has been covered in another thread."

Isosceles what you are trying to do there but it won’t work.Seems as though the two of you are complementary.
You’re not alone.HEY! HEY! I resemble that!
