    Surely a choice of name reveals much of someones self-image, afterall, they chose it. I delight in seeing the plethora of 'handles' chosen and interpreting the possibilites of their various meanings. Some are fairly obvious, such as "loser" or "1-hot-babe"; but the ones i find most befuddling are what i refer to as the "digit-dudes"; ones with handles such as IAW335278-9376-111837. Inevitably..these are always "male". Curious, yes? I also wonder how in the hell they ever get email? It is also interesting to note what various names evoke within ourselves. This cyberspace is such a fertile playground for the imagination, don't ya just love it? :-)
