The Un-Real One.
I read the story one why he calls himself that on some message board, but I forget which one and why.

I first went on the poolandspa forum about 2 or 3 yrs ago and started reading the posts and made a few replies. I made the mistake of using my home address and all of a sudden some nutcase from Colorado started e-mailing me at home to explain why he was right and everyone else was wrong and when I wouldn't agree he started getting belligerent. I figured it was best to avoid that username (you never know nowadays how far people will take things) so I came up with a new username, "Spatech".

What I didn't know was that there was already a "Spa Tech" (two words) and he wasn't happy with the possible confusion so he renamed himself Spa Tech (The Real One). Being a wiseguy I had no choice but to rename myself Spatech (The Unreal One) or (tuo) for short. In other words, its all Jim’s fault.

I'm still here. And there. And over there too...

And yes, in a way, it was Jims fault. The "Spa Tech" monikers that we (t.u.o. and myself) were too similar and I was getting questions sent to me, by people mistaking me for t.u.o. In fact, Jim asserted at one point that we were one and the same, even when we expressed two completely different points of view...

Anyway- I wasnt put off-- I too, was being a bit of a smart ass using (the real one)...
