[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 1928482, member: 24969"] I got sick of having to pick different names on all sites so I decided to standardize on one that wouldn't be taken other places. I picked painandgreed because I own the domain painandgreed.com. The reason I own painandgreed.com is because it was a friend's domain that I got my first email address on and I aquired it when he dropped it. The reason for the name painandgreed is a long story which is related to my friend having HIV along with 95% of all other hemophiliacs due to tainted blood products made for hemophiliacs. that would be bad enough but it got worse when it was discovered that the companies that made those blood products knew about the contamination but did the math and figured it would be cheaper to lose what they estimated at 10-15% of their "customers" rather than recall and destroy the product they had. They were wrong and the final tally was around 95% of their customers ended up with tainted product. The orignal site was a place for him to express his anti-corporate feelings on the pain caused by their greed. When he dropped it, I picked it up because my website and the email all my friends had for me were already there. [/QUOTE]
