Yeah ... no. I am truly without a comeback. I am guessing he's a guy named A. Pastuszak.

Maybe he's a Yank with Russian roots who likes anodyne Italian cuisine!

He could also be a
philatelist (I looked that up on Google)!

Maybe he's actually:
copy a'-paste-uszak 
Oh, and be welcome, apastuszak!
u.
* - apast = antipasta.
- us = US = Yank (at least on this side of the pond! )
- zak = muzak
I'll bet it's not so confusing (or funny) now!

And you wonder why the new folk have a tendency to run screaming for the hills...
Welcome to the Watch apastuszak. Stick around so we can get figuring on how to shorten and pronounce that, or vice versa.
(Oh, I think the Gap books are the best too.)

You can blame the Concierge!

As she so often is, Menolly was the instigator!

Now, now, ahava! No need for that.
The melon was speaking appreciatively of your tendency to instigate...
with which I have had some experience and surely esteem even more highly than he does.

Hello, I'm Rodrigo, and I just recently started reading TCTC based on a suggestion by a friend. I'm about halfway through LFB and I've been enjoying it. By the way, I assume Illearth is "Ill earth" ran together, right?

Be Welcome to the Watch, Rodrigo.
Be Well Come and True.
You are in for a treat.
But beware of spoilers here on the site. They can be rampant in regards to the first and second chrons.

Welcome to the Watch, Rodrigo!
May you thrive here...and contribute.
As you will find in reading the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, there are multiple layers of meaning that Donaldson has provided -- intentionally or not...some meanings that are discussed here on the Watch may never have been imagined by Donaldson!
Yes, Illearth can be considered to be simply Ill Earth run together...or it can be a word that is the name of a bane that Drool Rockworm discovered in the deepest levels of Mt Thunder and was taken by Fangthane when Drool was defeated.
In a story where the name of the principal antagonist is called Lord Foul, surely you see that names have many meanings.

Wow, I envy you your first journey through the Land.
Welcome to the Watch Rodrigo. Your friend has steered you well.
But like the others said...watch out for spoilers...and definitely stay out of the Chrons forums...even titles of threads can be spoilers.
Have fun, and stick around and talk about stuff.

Hello Rodrigo!
You really do have a treat in store.

Welcome!

Careful...you may have to begin suspending profiles to comply with these gargantuan anti-spoiler guidelines. Wasn't there for instance someone called
Lord Foul
around?
And "Avatar"...I clearly recall that was the name of one of Covenant's pink, sparkly alicorn pals in the Wounded Land.
Tut, tut.

Actually, the word
avatar
appears several times in the Chrons.
Anyway, no rule about spoilers in titles...just a warning that in those forums one would find some.

Now you have revealed to the newcomers that you
ARE a gigantic spoiler! How is any new reader going to tolerate this disclosure that Avatar the Rainbow Alicorn first heals Covenant of his leprosy in an apotheosis of wild magic, then leads him into a pirate cave where he unearths a suit of armor and a magical singing sword of eldritch puissant theurgies, and then rides Avatar to rescue a fair princess from a dragon-guarded crepuscular castle??? Have you no shame?
Also some very suspicious flora in this thread...
