I know, and I do, and some even have their real name set, but I still  
can't remember the nicks, and I still am too lazy to do this for  
every nick I don't recognize. Perhaps it's because I only drop by now  
and then.

Sure, I can understand people choosing funny nicks when role-playing  
in MUDs (used to do that, too, as a student, with too much time), but  
in IRC I assume they're not role-playing most of the time, at least  
on #squeak.
