About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

What's the deal with my nickname?
A while back my brother was hounding me to sign up with AIM. I needed a nickname for that and I was reading the book Confess, Fletch. Since then its grown to be my nickname in many places.

The book is one of 9 in a mystery series by Gregory Mcdonald of which the first was made into the movie Fletch starring Chevy Chase.
