I never seen it as something negative. There are many letters/signs. There is creativity and Peter23 will always be only Peter at best. Changing a nick in IRC is as easy as joining a chan.

We are talking about more than just IRC though.

Plus at risk of repeating myself, I'm not arguing against users names on the whole; just systems which have user names that cannot be changed
