I wonder if that person will admit to anything.... :->
Actually, it might be interesting to find out how many people in general
have vanity plates and what they think it is important to say with them...
How about it, folks-- What does YOUR plate say, and why?

mine says AXEMAN 1 - AXEMAN was taken. axeman was a handle i used on a
certain system chuq would be happy to tell you all about (right, chuq !?)
that has since moved to the bit bucket in the sky.
now who can guess what AXEMAN means ? only *4* people have since i got the
plate over 3 years ago.

While attending USENIX in Toronto last summer, I saw two Toyota Supras with UNIX plates. One was Massachusetts the other was New Hampshire (I think). (Who are you guys?) So, a year ago when I bought a Supra, I figured it was necessary to apply for a UNIX plate. I now have the only UNIX license in Colorado!

Several years ago when I moved to Maryland, I dutifully went to the MVA to get license plates. I got my plates at random, and received: FRY 509 Innocent enough, right? Upon my first return to Pa to visit friends, I was asked several times, "Are those vanity plates?" I guess my wild past will forever be with me, eh? Jeff Grunewald [seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!jsg

Mine says "SPAF". One of these days, I'll get one that says "VEGAN"
and put it on my space cruiser.

Actually, in California the extra money for the
plates is supposed to help pay for State parks (or something like that)
are are somewhat officially called envirnomental plates. Mine
say "kds gsp" which seems to generate some incredulous chuckles
for a class of current and former Purdue people (are you out there,
kt?)
