I have a bunch of info to add in
here over the next few weeks - keep checking back. For now, I'll
leave this snippet of a SciFi chat Froon did, concerning his nickname showing
up in the chatroom #farscape.

Moderator: <Xeddicus> to <Moderator>: Ricky, for the past week it appears that we've been lucky enough to have you in #farscape ALOT. My question is, was this REALLY you or someone pulling a cruel joke?
FrooniumRicky: Both.
FrooniumRicky: That one was as real as this one.
FrooniumRicky: (If that helps)

I would simply add that you can never be completely sure who you're
talking to in a chatroom - identities can be forged/imitated, so it never
hurts to be careful.
