After completing the tedious diatribe, all your efforts to post it would be met with a dreaded "connection timed out" message, dooming you to re-type the whole thing over and over and over and over again.

Your Greek name would be Carpus Tunnelis Syndromedous.

Don't think that really works for Greek. Mish mash there of real and fake Latin, Middle English and Anglicized Greek. Karpos Sundromites would do the job better I think...

At any rate that was impressive. Bind didn't look like he was being asked. He didn't look like he wanted to stop.
