While I can't imagine actually addressing someone in my group as "The Neon
Samurai," or "Death From Above" in casual non-combat conversation, I can
see deckers posting under such pseudonyms.

My fraternity days notwithstanding, I always looked at "handles" more as
call-signs to streamline tactical radio communication than as actual PC
nicknames or street-names.

Anybody see the movie "Navy SEALs" with Charlie Sheen? You really can't
beat a team called "Bad Karma" backed up by a sniper named "God."
