Out of curiosity...

Out of curiosity... what?

Edit: Since that seems to have earned me a downvote, I'd like to clarify that I'm just wondering as to what, specifically, you're curious about. Why I choose to call myself that? If I'm some other Sindre you know? Why my username is not Sindre? etc.

No idea why someone would downvote a reasonable question. That would be bizarre.

'Username not' was the one. :)

Hrm. Now someone's downvoted your question, it seems. It's all a great, sinister conspiracy.

Well, regardless... peuddO is a username I occasionally utilize on internet forums. It's "upside down" in Norwegian, written upside down in Norwegian (I'm so very clever). Even so, I know that I personally prefer to know the names people go by out-of-internet. It's a strange quirk, perhaps, but it makes me feel obligated to provide my real first name when introducing myself.
