AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a new forum member named "wolram," which is believed to be a misspelling of "wolfram." Participants humorously speculate on the reasons behind the misspelling, questioning the need for the name "Wolfram" and suggesting it could relate to an affinity for Mathematica or tungsten, the chemical element associated with the name. There is also a mention of potential copyright concerns as a reason for the unusual username choice.

Ha ha... has anyone seen that there's a new member named "wolram." We all know he meant to type "wolfram." Seriously, what kind of drugs cause one to spell his/her user-name incorrectly?

I agree but why would the want to be called wolfram? i mean there must be something special about wolfram for u to know that wolfam spelt their name wrong?
 
2 reasons someone would want to be called Wolfram...

1) they like Mathematica a little to much
2) tungsten dude... it's all about the tungsten

Maybe for copyright reasons?
