Wondering why some folks choose to use 'handles' on technical newsgroups?

Web Definitions: telamon:
In nematodes: Rigid, sclerotized portion of the cloacal wall that
apparently guides the spicules from the spicular pouch into the cloaca.

Well, I guess that beats some obscure reference to a post-apocalyptic
cyber-punk nihilistic yarn, video game or death metal band...
