Compare number of slefs against number of Bascules (or Neos for that matter).

People who use neo are coppy cat wannabees who thing they are haxors etc... sorry but they are just sad people who will get nowhere, bloody script kiddies.

as for number of slefs, well I could say somethingreally cutting here but you have apoint, there aren't many slefs. I've never come across another Bascule. I was originall called bascule by people on a newsgroup I hung out on for my ability to miss spell most words. I have since improved but they all remind me of my crap spelling.

The problem now is the name space for most things is really cluttered and any option you want will be taken. You can usually tell how long someone has been online by weather or not they have any numbers after ther name in an email address from places like hotmail and yahoo mail. If the name is plain without numbers, misspellings etc... then they have been aroung a while, people like john_smith7865@hotmail.com are only recent joiners, and as for AOL users, well thats a whole new thread.

Few people use the name akula, and I found out why, put two K's in it and it becomes serb for Twat!

Thanks
