A better question: What do we think of the concept of conlinguini? :D
But seriously, although I use the handle Freakkoon (long story) on IRC
and other chat media, I prefer go by my real name. Of course, any chat
network is going to have lots of "Eric"s and I don't like stuff like
"EricC534," so I use a nickname.
