Off topic question but is your username a reference to the Marx Brother’s movie Duck Soup’s Rufus T Firefly character? I know it’s not quite the same name but close enough to name me raise an eyebrow.
I assume the eyebrow you’re raising is painted on. 🥸
And yes, you’re correct. Short version of the story: I’m a lifelong Marx Brothers fan and I used “Rufus T. Firefly” as a screenname for a bit back in the 1990s before deciding I wanted to use something a little more “me,” changing the first name to my given one, and dropping the period after the T.
That’s awesome! I don’t think I’ve seen a Marx Brothers reference outside of very surface level Groucho, Harpo, or Chico. I used Zeppo as a internet handle for a long time. Really cool, and kind of excited, to see someone else that’s a fan!

Thanks for your curiosity!
