: it is sL65r, not s165r, and I certainly didn't choose the account name,
: but since the account is "free" I can't complain.  :)  ("free" means
: included in student fees)  
: Of course, it is an acronym for "Sings Like a '65 Rocker"  ;-)

I hate abbreviations and misuses of the computer like "s123" or "ucaa2385"
(which was forced on me ;-), too.
But if the acronyms always come along with the long meaning like
in the original text above, then it is quite acceptable.
