Well, the rationale behind my name is simple.
The "Rye" part came first. For a long time, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye was my favorite novel, and whenever I would join a forum, I would usually add "intherye" to the end of the name. Admittedly, though, The Brothers Karamazov may have eclipsed this position in recent years (particularly in the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, but that's another story.)
The "Rev." part comes from the fact that I was ordained into the Universal Life Church (ordination date 3/10/07). And, of course, I like the irony of writing anti-religious things while calling myself "Reverend."
