Who says we all have a hadle or alias... Boris is just what my parents named me

... maybe they had a few after-work beers when coming up with it back in 83

The name Kessler in my sig isn't my real surname though... but it could have been. My grandfather (being a Volga-German: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_German) defected from the Red army to the Wehrmacht during the war. Because he thought the Russians might one day come looking for him, he decided to register under his wife's name instead, when they moved to Argentina after the war.
