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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) .

Oct 6 [20:51 PST] [theymos] There's a small fire on the electrical pole outside of my house. The fire dept. is looking at it now. It's possible that I might lose power for a while. If so, the forum's return will be delayed.

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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

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."

Was Theymos a typo and he just ran with it? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbtc.host56.com%2Fimages%2Fbtca.gif&t=663&c=heALfazpjYKBew) Yep. His username was originally going to be Thermos, but typos nowadays...
