Is that not normal? It'll be odd following @phyrrus9 around at DEFCON calling him 'phy' then.
huh? You asked if it's not the norm, then said it would be weird doing that with Phyrrus xD
It's pretty normal, people who don't know me very well do that at conferences. a lot of people know my actual name though

I'm still refered to as skull by some of my friends. I dont find it that odd. In fact we use our aliases almost interchangably with our names depending on how formal we feel.

Isn't there already a thread like this?
Thought that might be the case. Read the first book a few years ago and it was decent. And yes, I recall there being another thread.
