What do our handles/nicknames collectively say about us?

    I noticed a few prefixes/suffixes/concepts keep popping up in people's nicknames on this site. I wish I had all the subscriber names in a spreadsheet to play with it some more, but I just did a real cursory glance around and saw some interesting bits. Notice this:

    Prefix to handleNumber of occurrences
    Free (like in "FreedomFrog")35
    rebel 5
    lost 12
    happy 17
    hate 0
    love 14

    In additon, there were 4 variations of the phrase "had enough". That there are 14 love's and 0 hate's I think speaks volumes about the attitude of people that leave that religion.

    I'm sure there's more interesting overlaps and parallels among our attitudes as revealed by our nickname choices. Are there any you've noticed that you thought were cool?

    Dave, very interesting observation mate. I agree, these names say volumes about the general attitude of the populace of JWD... it's awesome.

    I really enjoy your posts buddy, keep up the good work :)

    Very nice of you to say that, FMZ, considering that 'Futher-Mucking' didn't make the list...
