...having a bunch of numbers in your handle? Just wondering. I saw a guy the other night, his handle was something like 9503483. Whats up with that?

Whats wrong with a handle that makes a semblance of sense, like a word?

This aint the chatrooms on AOL boys!

Shhht!

Some guys used their account password as their handle, but don't tell them.

Especially don't tell them that they can just open up another account and enter a non-numeric callsign instead

A buddy and I were discussing this the other day. We both use short one syllable handles. I hope someone with a handle like 9630876 doesn't expect a six call from me.

Why not,

<Central: #######666>?

Would be like the incident during the Vietnam war. Where a F4 pilot was telling his wingman to break left, because a Mig was on his tail. After several attempts, no response. Finally he screamed "F4 BREAK left, MIG!". His last memory of the incident ALL the planes in the sky were breaking Left.

Oh boy, I can see it now. ;-D

Niteflyr-

Ironically, some number was griping on the country channel today about getting no six-calls. I was thinking exactly along the lines of this thread!

Imagine if "The Artist" (the singer formerly known as "Prince") flew in here.... how would you six-call that!?
