Have you ever looked at your hand? I mean, really looked?
Good evening. I'm IHCOYC, a handle I have been using on Usenet since around 1995, and on BBSs since maybe 1984. The handle deserves an explanation. There was aCommodore 64 BBS back then that ran homebrewed software that displayed data in ALL CAPS. When choosing a handle to use there, I was momentarily moved to call myself IHCOYC XPICTOC (that is, IHΣOYΣ XPIΣTOΣ) to see if anyone got the joke. If you wonder what it stands for, thinkGreek. On a caprice back in August 2003, I changed my handle here to "Smerdis ofTlön." I was one of the operators of theMicrodotBBS that operated in southern Indiana from1985 to1999. I still miss the BBSes.
