Yeah, well, you can always make up a weird name for use on the net but that
doesn't mean you have to wear it everywhere you go. I got awfully tired of
spelling my name ALL the time. And people always seem to remember me no
matter what I tell them my name is (this could be a really bad thing if I
were into crime). I'd be willing to bet people remember Eliezer too,
although I've never met him in person. Sometimes less distinctiveness is in
order rather than more.
