1. So?
If I saw a new DUer with the name "IloveGWBush" I would welcome them too...

A name is no indication of anything...

Post content is where it's at.

10. Hardly!
"Fallen Angel" is the dude putting flour or ricin or cocaine or ground up cow bone or whatever into those envelopes...

Methinks the FBI would naturally come after a person using that pseudonym...

Wasn't that code for "crashed UFO"?

6. They could have been a fan of
Magic:TG as well. Fallen Angels were a strong card.

The could have the name for any number of infinite reasons..

4. I have no answer for the poll, just an admiring note for your avatar...
...great look on JJ's face. Probably the ONLY time he has EVER caused me to smile, let alone laugh.

5. I'd guess it was a fundy who'd seen the light...
and come back to reality to make Earth a better place.

8. Ricin letter
was signed "Fallen Angel" (according to Faux news). That's why I'd alert the admins................

11. Bingo!
Precisely, that's why I'd alert them too. I'd mentioned in another reply that the FBI would readily pounce on anybody who'd use that name here. Or the person using the name could be a trickster, but it's hardly funny.

9. A Larry Niven fan?
Niven wrote a book called "Fallen Angels" about an Earth suffering from a new ice age and run by a bunch of anti science yahoos, and the space station crews that refused to come down...
One of the space station's shuttles gets shot down, and the crew is rescued by science fiction fans. The term "Fallen Angels" is used to refer to the crew of the shuttle.

12. Larry Niven is great...
"Ringworld Engineers" and "The Mote in God's Eye" are two of my favs.
