I said I was retired from here, because life moved on...but Im so *SQUEE* bored with covid and working from my office, I'm taking a break from my retirement, and I'm back on the boards!!..for a sec.
Now I know this is weird, but I clicked on some of my old posts from like 16 years ago, and some of my responses were from a board member named johnhickman, around 2004-2005, was it the now pretty well known comic writer?

I highly doubt it, he's never shown to be a Valiant fan.

Every Jonathan I have ever known has been very specific about not including an H in their name, especially in the contracted form of Jon.

Both John and Jonathan are of Hebrew origin but not related beyond the jo- in both names coming from the given name of the Lord. Jonathan is related to the name Nathan. The Hebrew word natan (depending on the vowels) can mean something being placed or sometimes a gift; Jonathan breaks down as YHWH natan, placed by the Lord or gift of the Lord. This is semantically equivalent to the order of the two elements of the name being reversed, which is the family name Netanyahu. Thus, Benjamin Netanyahu - Son of my right hand, placed by the Lord - poetic; almost prophetic.

yes, i didnt notice the h and the no h somehow.. even though I typed it..
that makes more sense..
looking back its crazy how many old board members there used to be that were so passionate, and then vanished..
and im confused how i uploaded to a post, all the images i had of the the unpublished VH1 Solar/Timewalker Yearbook, and now they are gone. is there a time limit on Tiny img?
I'll have to find those and post them again

So basically someone named Jonathan Netanyahu would essentially have the same first and last name?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I believe his family (or maybe just his father) moved from Warsaw to Israel during or shortly after WWII; then changing their name to Netanyahu.

IIRC his elder brother--the first born son--was called Yonatan.
