I call SHRINK and say, "Hi Ken, this is Pete"

Ken says "Hello General"

I get that with a lot of posters around the net I have talked too.

You guys use poster names the most when communicating?

I think that is standard operating procedure... plus you come to know someone on a certain name, so that's what you use. My friend Fezzik... well when we talk or hang out, I call him Fezzik.

Trivia question: anyone know where the name Fezzik comes from?

Lots of people call me David Matthews... even though it's not my name... ( a combination of my first and middle names).

General: Someone who posts on my blackjack website posts as "General Pershing" ... anyone know why? (another trivia question)

Anyway, I think going by handles is a mark of respect, actually... you've earned your reputation under a certain name, so that's what peers use as a sign of respect.

David,
You mean you're not that grubby middle-aged singer?

Damn - I was just about to tell you that your last 58 songs that sounded completely identical were all "equally" good

Fezzik was the name of the Turkish giant in The Princess Bride.
