People have asked where SpookMeister comes from. Here is the story:
Long ago, I used to be very involved in competitive first-person shooter video games. My playstyle always involved sneaking up on someone and taking them out when they didn't expect it. After a few times hearing, "He is like a ghost." I decided to adopt a name that semi-implied that style.
Now, if you are familiar with the genre, you know how typical the names Ghost, Phantom, Specter, etc. are in the games. SpookMeister was what I came up with to be sufficiently unique, and it stuck with me over the years.
Sorry to disappoint any of you who were expecting a racial epithet.
