Well, you know, you can "engineer" a conlang/conculture, or you can "discover"
it, or somewhere in between. "Veoler" is originally the name of a planet in a
100% "discovered" conculture.

Then, maybe it's some sort of synesthesia or pseudo-synesthesia, but there are
a connection between everything and emotions, and "Veoler" is connected to an
emotion that is similar to an emotion that is connected to my identity
(or a part of my identity). So I adapted it as a nick online.

That's the story :)

What does this "Al" reference mean? (I've learnt about Brother Can You Spare A
Dime) If I'm a forgotten former list member or something? (I'm not)

Cheers,

(btw, I don't know if you wanted me to answer off-list, since your reply-to
was so set, but...)
