- to3m 11y agoQuite. One of my flatmates in the mid 1990s was the brother of a member of Combat 18, a UK-based neo-Nazi group, which fuelled my subsequent suspicion of anybody with 18 in their pseudonym. But there are of course many possible reasons for choosing that number, so I was hoping to hear the truth from the horse's mouth so to speak. This isn't the first time I've asked cb18 why 18. Should I see another comment from them along similar lines, I'll ask again.
