My names on AIM are Earth 2 Huntress and Chibiluornu. (but I hardly ever have it turned on) -named after a comic book character and the Japanese word for ‘small’ and the real name of a member of the Legion of Superheroes. On Yahoo I have-Shadowbird\_997 (yeah the entirely gratuitous number is there because there were about 56 shadowbirds already.) I had no idea there was some kind of big snobbish thing where people who are like proper non-newbie people laugh at people who have numbers in their names. Agggh now I can never use it again for fear of ridicule ☹ Also on Yahoo I have Silver\_Ravengoddess, Moon\_Honey3000, Earth2\_Huntress (again), july\_moonmaiden, luornu\_triad and moon\_angel\_997. Yeah I really like the underscore. But I hardly ever have Yahoo on either these days. ---
