Well, most people here call me either **Superdude** or just **Dude**. Or, at least I answer when they say “dude.” But I’ve always seen Superman called **Supes** for short, and kinda liked the way it sounded.

Don’t worry, it’s not a _huge_ deal that I can’t do vanity searches for **F\_X**. I could make it into one, but there would be no point.

And hey… I wouldn’t _dream_ of calling you Pat. Patrick is just fine with me. 🙂
