> I know there was a thread titled "Handles" about a year ago that concerned this topic; I just read that thread and found it very interesting. However, there were only a few folks who posted to that thread who are still current regulars today (Issachar, Howard, Darien among them). I am curious about where people's nicknames come from.

My full chat name is SilverCupLover, but I only use it for an old Yahoo! mailbox and my website. I shortened it to Silvercup, since it sounds pretty cool. I got it from a t-shirt that I own, which pictures the Stanley Cup (the championship trophy for the NHL) and states, "Don't skate for Gold, skate for Silver." So, SilverCup was an obvious choice. I guess... maybe that's only in my head. :-)
