Fortunately for me, when I picked the "sigtauenus" user name 10 years ago when I registered with Juno (free email back then), I picked it specifically so that I would never have worry about seeing "user name already in use" when I registered.

For those who are curious, Sig Tau, short for Sigma Tau Gamma, was my fraternity at Penn State, and Enus was my nickname there. Think deputy on the Dukes of Hazzard and that will clue you in.

Anyhow, I've now registered sigtauenus on 10's, possibly even 100's of websites, forums, internet emails, etc, and never once been denied use of that username.

Ahem, please don't take this as a challenge to go out and find places I haven't registered at and take it from me, I'm just pointing out that it is nice to have picked such a unique user name.

I'd venture to say that 99.9% of the places you'd see "IIGood", it's me behind that screen name.
