When I first went online in 1987 I used "Peabody", because friends had often called me that. (After the character of Mr. Peabody in the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons... a fair likeness in looks and behavior.) But I quickly noticed that almost every message I posted was an attempt to simplify cluttered logic or eliminate assumptions, so it's been occam or ockham ever since.
