I noticed a few people on Reddit writing thermos, I guess they either misspelled his name or it was changed by auto correct.
It started with one guy being auto-corrected in Reddit, then other people started calling him like that because it sounded funny Tongue.

The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

...and, of course I, being who I is, didn't want to miss a humor opportunity expanded upon the faux pas. Somewhat akin to how Rassah's coffee table meme got started.

BTW, probably over a year or so ago I posted the following image on this forum.

All I know is, I find the "thermos" pun hilarious. I can't see it going away now.

So good to have the forum back though, so well done, Thermos! Grin

The first day I was in Nashville back in '85, I picked up a woman named Mary that worked at Aladdin. She brought me to her home to spend the night. Three years later, I found myself in that same bedroom thinking to myself that I've been here before. I asked her where she worked and she replied, "Aladdin."

Cool story, bro.

I tried to type theymos with osx but it doesn't autocorrect to thermos...

Big mystery

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:
Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)
Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

Yep. His username was originally going to be Thermos, but typos nowadays...
