Oh I didn't realize you really needed me to spell it out for you. OK, here
goes, once again with feeling. "Zero" is a nickname, a pseudonym, an alias,
a fake name, a ruse, whatever suits your fancy. Michael is my real name.
Powers is my real name. So for those who can't put this complicated puzzle
together, my real name is (watch closely) Michael Powers. Shall I shout it
from the rooftops? HELLO WORLD. I USE A NICK NAME. IT IS ZERO. SOME
MIGHT THINK IT STRANGE, BUT I LIKE IT.
I really had no idea that going by a nickname would cause such a ruckuss,
especially on a list populated with people named Max More, Natasha
Vita-More, Spudboy, Tom Morrow, etc. But, I case if you can't deal with a
guy's arguments, the next best thing is to pick on his chosen name, huh?
