What’s With Your Handle Garbler

[garbler]

I’ve been asked by a number of folks ‘ what’s with your name Garbler ? Well it’s an archaic maritime term for a person that garbles or garbling. Back in the day of sail trading ships would routinely come alongside the dock and unload their goods for inspection and sale. Sometimes this was done out in the harbor at anchor. The buyers would inspect the merchandise known as garbling, or pick out the best. A Garbler was an expert at garbling

Good to know, because I was thinking in the voice radio vernacular - "You're coming in loud and garbled."

As you can see, mine's short for argonaut.
