Wow, you guys really don't like this, do you?

You know, when I first made my account on Hackernetwork, it was ultimately a coin toss that led to the name being "Demosthenes" instead of Mr_Shifty.  If it'd come up differently, we never would have even had this conversation....

Oh, I'm fine with it. Just fuckin' with ya.

Only thing is -- I don't think those Sauron sigs will look the same with "Mr_Shifty" on them.

LOL.  Like they make any logical sense with "Demosthenes".   :lol:

Ha-ha, no, not logical at all. But "Demosthenes" just naturally looks good in a heavy-metal font.

Yeah, DEMOSTEENZ is like "Hey Bitch, I'm gonna fuck you up!" while Mr_Shiftkey is like "Hey Bitch, I use CAPS". Which one is more bad ass? I rest my case.



But I'm just giving you a hard time. I don't care if you switch. It's your identity.
