User24 screennames change all the time, my identity has changed so many times in the last 5 years, I probally knew half of you under different aliases, in different surroundings. 031010

sans nom that's an interesting thought 031010

User24 don't you think there should be a word for our 'handles' (no crude jokes, please) that we use on blather?

anyway, the point I was going to make, which now sounds really small and insignificant, but still... was that it's quite cool if you look at the position of someone's screenname on the keyboard, for instance, Mahayana probally keeps one hand on the 'a', and lets the right hand type the rest of the letters, whereas silentbob's hands probally fly all over the center part of the keyboard. mmm.

Keyboard map of my name, as I usually type it, using the finger definitions found at http://paul.oniony.com/
sections/information/fingernames.html
to avoid confusion

Shift - Left Pinkie
U - Right Index
s - Left Pointer
e - Right Pointer
r - Right Index
2 - Left Index
4 - Left Pointer

if that's of interest to anyone, let me know your "screenname finger map" (tm)
