    It's simople, really. SGT CAPSLOCK on web will become whatevernick!118@whateverhost, next hypothetical SGT_CAPSLOCK from your post will become someothernick!5183@otherhost. Nicknames are unimportant, unless you're running ircd from 1990.

    Or don't have Dissociative identity disorder. I'm mcgrew; that's my last name without capitals. I was mcgrew everywhere on the internet since I got on in 1997 and started my old Quake site. I was mcgrew at /., K5, and now here (I was sm62704 at /. for a while when I'd lost my UID, but was able to retrieve it).

    When you see "mcgrew" you can almost always be sure it's me (unless you're at a moron site like 4chan or reddit). I use that nick as a pseudonym in Nobots and will when I publish The Paxil Diaries.

    SGT CAPSLOCK? Could be anybody. When you see the nick "mcgrew" you can almost always be certain who you're dealing with.
