I am very grateful of this opportunity and will make the most of it!
I spent quite a bit of time debating on my new name yesterday...and probably wouldn't have chosen it if it was just me, but Walker loved 'West' and Ranger liked it as well, so I decided to go with that!
Told some of you guys about this one already...but a negatory on WC...apparently it means toilet in Germany. Hehe, Walker and Lodige informed me of that one (and thanks to you as well Sniper lol). Plus it's not a two-lettered name that flows off the tongue like JB or something heh...

So I might as well conclude it with a history lesson..
Thomas Crapper (1836-1910) did exist and is credited with improving the functionality of the early flush toilet (or "water closet," as it was then called).
Sir John Harrington came up with the idea and installed an early working prototype in the palace of Queen Elizabeth I, his godmother.
The first flushing water closet was made by Alexander Cummings in 1775, sixty years before Thomas Crapper was even born.
Thomas Crapper was apprenticed to a master plumber at the age of 14. He owned his own plumbing shop in London by the time he was 25. Crapper was never knighted, so it's a mystery why storytellers consistently award him the title "Sir."
Nicknames like "The John" are due to the inventor.
"The Crapper" was a model of a toilet with modifications made by Thomas Crapper and has also become slang for a toilet.
