Nice thread this turned into.

I think there is a real brilliance to the availability of so much personal expression in all of this, the names, the icons, the signatures, all of it. There seem to be as many approaches to it all as there are people involved. Some are straight forward, others humoruous. Levels of anonymity are easily established and maintained. So many fun conversations come out of analyzing eachother's names and icons. It's wonderful. How many of us would feel as comfortable in a real world "room" where costumes were available at the door? Wouldn't even happen. I have trouble getting out to my front porch much less going somewhere. Anyway, excellent conversation, and another way to learn about eachother and how to be together at least in some sense.

peace.
