I've been parading around the internet under one pseudonym for the better part of seven years. I recently found out that google-ing 'toomanycurls' comes up with more hits for me than my real name. It's a nickname I consider to be very closely tied to my self-identity. It's not linked to a phase, style, fashion or other passing interest. I came to set up a blog here and I found out that someone else is using it. Someone that is not me. It's within this person's right to use whatever name they wish, but it's mine. It's the handle with which I've met numerous friends, submitted papers and ideas, etc. Well, life does go on and I'll have to guard my handle somewhat carefully from now on.
And if you're reading this, imposter, you should know that I had it first.
People should read this.
