(And it's almost exclusively guys, too.  Almost.)

If you do not have an internet handle, then you will be called by your real name.  In the case of those who have an exceedingly common name (Mike.  Jason.), and it becomes necessary, then I will either refer to you with an initial or I will change your name to something less common and to my liking.  (The primary exception here would be if you have an actual website that I can link to.  That way I can have your name linked and that clears things up...  maybe).  Princess has already suggested that the *new* Mike that I recently met was simply one Mike too many and that I should change his name (arbitrarily) to Vinny.  I am still undecided on that front, so be warned, I could decide that your new name is Ezekiel or maybe even Bertha, depending on my mood at the moment.

Welcome to the 21st century, boys.  You *all* need an online persona, or risk being known as your real self.  (Or risk being subjected to my whims...  and we ALL know about my whims, no?)

You have been warned.
