This is a question I get very often, either that or people think I cannot spell, well there is a reason for the incorrect spelling. Growing up I was always fascinated with the concept of alchemy, guess it has something to do with the concept of making something out of nothing. Anyways by the time I started using BBS's I had adopted it as my nick and for some years it stuck. Then came the internet and all of a sudden there were more "alchemys" out there and I decided to make a small change and use Alchamy since it was better than alchemy2342 or any of the other odd variations registration services were offering. I rarely get that with Alchamy.
