Holy Ruminant! I have *never* seen balanced 3-way splitters
except in hardcore parts catalogs.

You lucky sumanabeesh! I had to sleuth around to find the dispatch
yard and then the jerks there tried to convince me that they didn't carry
splitters on their service trucks. I had to talk jargon with a couple techs
before they realized I knew what I was talking about and that I knew
they were not leveling with me before they handed me a 1GHz splitter.
I guess it all depends on the policy of the company that got bought
out by Comcast. Our cable company has been through 4 or 5
buyouts, but the same dumb personnel continues to staff each
re-incarnation.

Because you are viewing it with a poorly rendered font that makes the
two letters "r" and "n" blend together and look like "m".

Hot dam! They blend perfectly. What a jolt!
Have you considered writing it as "RNichols42"?
It would still work the same way.

Have you considered using a different or larger font ? |

I've done that on occasion. Yeah, I probably should change it here,
too.
Right now I'm having thoughts of creating a mailbox "mrnrnmrnm".
