Fluke -> RE: Screen names and their effect (7/11/2010 6:38:56 PM)

Well, I'm just pretty darned pleased that I got hold of "my" name on here, without having to get creative with characters and numbers. It's been with me for near on 10 years, and I swear that if someone said it out loud I'd react to it as I would to my given name. I've heard the fish jokes, I've heard the parasitic flatworm jokes, I've heard the electrician tool jokes, people have asked me about the band, etc. etc... But yeah, I do judge people by their screen names, it's no different than your average first impression, just in a different form. I've been around enough to know that first impressions isn't all, but it DOES have a strong impact regardless, one that affects your desire to further interact or not....
