In certain geek circles, especially those centred around IRC channels, it seems common practice to refer to each other by nicknames, even during real life meetings. This drives me crazy.

I’d like the world to know that I am Martin, unless you speak to me on IRC. This also means that I am Martin on mailing lists and any other form of communication, except IRC.

Love,
Martin
