(If you mean because it sounds like "Shhh! Tell," then you're wrong. I'm
surprised no one else has ever suggested this. I've often known about it,
but was waiting to see if anyone else would notice. As far as I'm concerned,
it's just a coincidence, especially since I didn't notice this similarity
until about a year after I devised the name.
However, if you mean something else . . .)

Oh, okay, a summary: originally, I chose <SuStel> for a quick translation of
"Stormcrow" from _The Lord of the Rings_, but since then I have come to
appreciate the way it sounds.
Not a summary: Besides, it caught my attention pretty well at the qep'a', so
I must have chosen well!
