A line or two to remove the stigma of being a "red" name.
Basically the "Childhood Trauma" part came into being in the early 80's as a bbs handle based on my personal rejection of one of the worse Sci-Fi TV shows ever. I don't remember the name of the show. I do remember there was some sort of unwilling dimensional travel that involved a pyramid, that the family was given a last name similar to Rod Serling. It might have been STERLING. my memory... siiigh. And I obviously remember that in one of the least watchable episodes, the main villian was named "Chalk Trauma."
I've outlived the show by 25 years...
Hmmm it was Otherworld http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherworld_(TV_series)
