Why is it that engineers still go by stupid screen names? A classic example is this fine article on software development which is written by Mr Ed. In conjunction with Tedious Soporific, Sparky and WillaWonga. I lost interest in referring to myself (or anyone else) by their login or screen name about ten years ago.
I think these names sound silly, and what's worse, I think it diminishes our profession to use them. Imagine going to the hospital for a serious ailment and your first doctor is named SpoBot2000. He recommends that you see SphincterGuy3, who is a specialist. You would laugh and cringe, and then get the hell out.
