Why Gruntled?
Here is a little history of how Gruntled came to be. I was having a (not so serious) conversation with a friend and the word disgruntled came up. Going on a tangent, I thought about the prefix dis and if the word gruntled existed. A quick search in the dictionary revealed, that yes indeed it was a word. We thought that was quite humerous. It was not long after this “discovery” that I needed a name for my personal web site. Gruntled became the obvious choice.
