If someone called you by your ST screenname IRL, would you answer to it?
I've got to say, I most definitely would, and I probably wouldn't realize that someone had called me by my ST name instead of my real name! It's become rather ingrained over the years, I suppose.
What about you?

Not that I'd expect anyone to call it out loud, but I bet I would. As a matter of fact if someone asked me if it was me I'd probably secretly be psyched. It'd be like being part of a secret club :)
I don't think I would answer to this name but on another forum a long time ago I gave myself a nickname of Cate for my "real" name over there and it has stuck for 3 years. I definitely have answered to it when Mike has called me that since I'll get mail under that name or when I've done forum meet ups with a few of the members.
Probably not...it's like my "other life" name that nobody knows about except you ladies! But if I see the name fairywings on other forums (that isn't me,) I get very protective. I mean, I invented it!
