IRC Nicknames (was Re: [TriLUG] [Fwd: [Steering] Red Hat is Hiring])

[William Sutton]

not that this is a real hardship for those that use some portion of their 
real names in their irc names...a la lovelace, jeremyp, drasch, mfrye, 
lavigne, etc.

Now for those of us who don't, maybe we need a universal translater posted 
somewhere?  Tribot seems to have forgotten how to universally translate, 
and in any case that doesn't provide a reverse translation
