an old quake id that I've just kept using. It was cool when I was 16... Argon was a cool gas and red is a cool colour. I think I came up with it when there was a periodic table around, probably in chem class.

during college, a HS friend of mine who was at a different college, sent a letter to me addressed to "The Insane One". When I questioned why he did so, he simply because I was the The Insane One. So I kept it as a nickname, and have shortened it to "Insanity".

Over the years I have also come to relate it to my experience of observing a world mostly filled with insane people, and that I am one of the few sane ones, yet because I am the minority, I must be the insane one as everyone else considers their insanity to be the norm.

You can ask one of the Administrators, Chroot or Greg Bernhardt. I am unsure if they have any criteria they use for deciding whether or not to grant such a request but I know that some members have had their user names changed.
